Medley Named Big 12 Player of the Week

 

FORT WORTH, Texas — TCU senior All-American candidate Zahna Medley has been named the Phillips 66 Big 12 Women’s Basketball Player of the Week.

 

The honor is selected via a vote of a media panel that covers the Conference.

 

Medley was honored for the sixth time in her career and the second time as player of the week. It is the 33rd time a TCU player has earned a Conference Player of the Week and 37th time a TCU player has earned Conference Player or Conference Freshman of the Week honors since the start of the 2005-06 season for the Frogs.

 

Medley had a big week for the Frogs, totaling 43 points for a 21.5 average in TCU’s two games last week to move into the Big 12 top 25 in career points. She connected on seven three-pointers and is now just three away from tying the TCU career record. Additionally, Medley needs 73 points to tie Sandora Irvin for TCU’s all-time scoring mark. She had 16 fourth quarter points against No. 4 Baylor and finished the game with 24 as TCU whittled a 25-point lead down to six points in the final minute with a Big 12 Conference record 37-point fourth quarter. Medley hit four three’s in the game and made all five of her fourth quarter shots for the Frogs. Against Iowa State, the senior guard had a game-high 19 points, hitting 3-of-6 from three-point range in helping TCU secure its second sweep of the season. The effort versus Iowa State gave Medley her 90th career double-figure game and 19th of the season.

 

TCU returns to action on Wednesday when the Frogs travel to Lawrence, Kansas to face the Jayhawks of Kansas. Tipoff is set for 7:00 p.m. with the action available on TWCSC. The game is available on the radio via KTCU 88.7 FM in the DFW Metroplex and through GoFrogs.com with Jeff Williams (play-by-play) on the call.
