Brandi Brown Threepeats As Horizon League Player Of The Week
She has been doing it since she was a freshman at Youngstown State. She has dominated statistics of all varieties from an individual level. Brandi Brown has collected her third Horizon League Player of The Week award this season, and she would be the first one to tell you that the award means nothing unless her team is winning.
Brown and her Penguin teammates defeated Cleveland State and Loyola last week. In the two wins, the senior averaged 26 points and 16.5 rebounds.
Brown had 28 points and 17 rebounds in YSU’s 72-63 win at Cleveland State, YSU’s first victory at the Wolstein Center since 2006. Brown then had 24 points and 16 rebounds in just 28 minutes as Youngstown State beat Loyola 75-38 for its largest margin of victory in a Horizon League game. Brown shot 50 percent from the field in the two games and broke YSU’s career records for free throw makes and free throw attempts.
Brown was also named the Horizon League and High-Major Player of the Week by CollegeSportsMadness.com. The High-Major division includes teams from the Atlantic 10, the CAA, Conference USA, the Horizon League, the MAC, the Missouri Valley, the Mountain West, the WAC and the West Coast conferences.
Brown and the Penguins will play at UIC on Thursday and at Wright State on Sunday this week.
