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.

Flooding, lightning strikes, etc. have cost @RacersHoops two home games. Had to play 'neutral site' tonight instead of at home and Wednesday's goes from home to away. Tough break for the Racers, and the whole area has been hit with difficulties. #FatherHarry
Murray State's scheduled home game Wednesday vs. Southern Illinois being moved to Banterra Center in Carbondale. #ValleyHoops
Gigantic game for @BradleyUMBB today in Des Moines. If they have a chance to catch @DrakeBulldogsMB, they have to win today. The Bulldogs can basically win the title today. @BustingBrackets breaks it all down. #FatherHarry https://bit.ly/3EGiVgi
Not rooting for any particular @ValleyHoops, but chaos is always fun. If things break certain ways, after today there could be a six-way tie for fifth place.
Fun to listen to @MLBLarry on the @SIU_Basketball/@BelmontMBB game tonight. Good job brother. #FatherHarry
