Murray State star on USBWA List
(St. Louis, MO) – Murray State’s Katelyn Young is the Missouri Valley Conferences’s third player to receive a ‘National Player of the Week’ award. The Racers’ all-time leading scorer is one of this week’s five weekly all-Americans honored by the United States Basketball Writers’ Association.
Each week the USBWA honors five ‘Ann Meyers Drysdale all-American’ honors.
Young averaged 29 points during the Racers’ two most recent victories, including 33 points against Indiana State.
She joins Northern Iowa’s Maya McDermott and Drake’s Katie Dinnebier as USBWA weekly award winners. Young’s staggering 2,660 career points and 1,115 rebounds make her one of the MVC’s all-time great players. Dinnebier (1,698) will reach 1,700 career points this week, joining McDermott (1,705) at that level.
