Another solid week leads Racer to weekly honor
For the sixth time this season, Katelyn Young of the Murray State women's basketball team has been named as the OVC Player of the Week, the league office announced Tuesday.
Young shot 73.7-percent from the floor and averaged 18.0 points per game over a 2-0 week for Murray State. She was once again perfect at the free throw line, at 7-for-7, while also leading the Racers in rebounds at 7.0 per game.
Monday against SIUE, Young was 8-for-10 from the floor and notched a double-double of 20 points and 10 rebounds, while adding 16 point and five rebounds on 6-of-9 shooting Saturday against Morehead State. She was also 1-for-3 from 3-point range on the week with five assists and one block, all while committing just three turnovers over two games.
A Murray State player has now won seven of the 12 awards so far this season, with Macey Turley also earning the honor in week two.
The Murray State women's basketball team returns to action Thursday at the Dunn Center in Clarksville, Tennessee for a Popeye's Battle of the Border matchup against Austin Peay at 5 p.m.
