Youngstown State senior women's basketball player Brandi Brown has been recognized as the College Sports Madness Horizon League Player of the Week, the website announced on Monday. It's the fourth time that she's earned the honor this season.
Brown scored 25 points and grabbed 15 rebounds as the Penguins earned a quality 80-71 victory over Akron on Thursday. The Pomona, Calif., native was 8-for-16 from the field and was consistent, having 13 points and seven rebounds in the first half and 12 points and eight rebounds in the second.
Brown also reached two important career numbers on Thursday. She grabbed the 1,000th rebound of her career in the win, and she moved into fourth place on YSU's career scoring list. Brown became just the third player in conference history to score 1,600 points and grab 1,000 rebounds.
Youngstown State will be back in action on Saturday with a 4:35 p.m. contest at Beeghly Center against Bucknell.
