Barton's Wynn Tabbed USBWA National Player of the Week
ST. LOUIS, MO. (USBWA) – Barton College's Kianna Wynn has been named the U.S. Basketball Writers Association Women’s Division II National Player of the Week for the week ending February 10.
The senior forward was named the Conference Carolinas Player of the Week after averaging 29.5 points and 10.5 rebounds per game, while shooting 71.1 percent from the field (27-of-38), in leading the Bulldogs to a pair of victories.
The Knightdale, N.C., native scored 23 points on 11-of-18 shooting in a 64-58 victory over then first-place Belmont Abbey last Wednesday, while also grabbing 10 rebounds and collecting two steals.
Wynn then poured in 36 points, going 16-of-20 from the field, in a 103-74 win over Southern Wesleyan on Saturday, while adding 11 rebounds to her stat line.
The two wins moved Barton’s win streak to five games and put the Bulldogs into a first-place tie in the conference regular season standings.
A three-time All-Conference Carolinas honoree, Wynn is second in league in scoring (23.5 ppg) and ranks third on the Barton College career scoring list with 1,961 points.
