BRENTWOOD, Tenn. – University of Tennessee at Martin women’s basketball standout Kenley McCarn swept up a pair of Ohio Valley Conference honors after garnering both Player of the Week and Freshman of the Week accolades following a breakout debut.
A native of Melbourne, Ark., McCarn exploded for 31 points in her collegiate debut against Troy in last week’s season opener. The freshman made 12-of-19 field goal attempts (63.1 percent) while also cashing in 6-of-6 free throw opportunities. Along with her scoring output, she tallied three rebounds, two blocks and an assist.
McCarn’s performance ranked as the best scoring debut by a Skyhawk in program history. Her 31 points not only lead the league this season but also rank in the top-15 nationally for the opening week.
UT Martin will return to action later this week when traveling to Missouri on Thursday, Nov. 17.
