Freshman is the first Lady Raider to secure weekly honor this season
IRVING, Texas – Coming off record-setting performance, freshman point guard Chrislyn Carr was named Big 12 Freshman of the week by the league office.
Â
Carr led the Lady Raiders to an 86-67 victory over Nevada on Saturday, marking the first non-conference true road win in six years. She posted a career high 35 points, 13 FG makes and six steals against the Wolf Pack. Of her 35 points, 27 of them came from beyond the arch.
Â
The freshman broke a 24-year-old school record for 3-point FG attempts with 21 attempts. The previous record was set by Noel Johnson three times during the 1993-94 season. Carr also tied a 14-year-old school record for most 3-pt FG makes as she hit nine in the contest. The previous record was set by Alesha Robertson against Miami on Dec. 6, 2004.
Â
Carr became just the 18th player and fourth freshman in school history to score 35+ points in a single game and joins junior Brittany Brewer with 30+ points in a game this season.
Â
The Lady Raiders return to action on Tuesday as they host Southern for the fifth annual Education Day. Tipoff is set for noon at United Supermarkets Arena.
