For the seventh time in her career, Braelyn Wykle was named the South Atlantic Conference Varsity Gems Women’s Basketball Player of the Week after an eye-popping week on the hardwood last week announced by the league on Monday.
In a pair of games against Mars Hill and Anderson, the guard averaged 37.5 points per game going 25-for-45 from the field and going 14-for-23 from long range matching the school record for triples in a game in both games making seven apiece. She went 11-for-12 at the charity stripe adding four steals, six assists, two rebounds and a block.
The week started with a 31-point outburst over 39 minutes in a road game against the Lions going 11-for-20 from the floor making seven of 10 from long range.
Wykle capped the week by leading the club to an 81-75 victory over Anderson scoring a career-high 44 points, 32 coming in the first half, while rewriting record books from the program to the nation over 40 minutes on the floor.
The Greeneville, Tenn. native joined Lisa Stogner (1980-84) as the only two players in school history to score 2,000 points for a career becoming the sixth SAC player, the first since 2011, and sixth active Division II player to crest the mark for a career.
