(WSPA) – The University of South Carolina’s MiLaysia Fulwiley was named co-Freshman of the Week by the SEC for her role in the Gamecocks’ convincing win at Texas A&M last week.
Fulwiley led the Gamecocks in points on the way to the 35-point win, posting her first career 20-point game. She finished the night with 21 points, three assists, one steal and one block.
Fulwiley was efficient in her 20 minutes of play, going 8-of-12 from the field and nailing 3-of-5 from three-point range. She capped off the night with a perfect second quarter, going 5-of-5 with eight of her 13 points coming during the team’s 12-2 run to close the half.
The freshman’s 13 points in the quarter matched the team’s season high so far.
On the season, Fulwiley is third on the team in scoring with an average of 11.7 points per game, and is currently ranked 13th in the SEC with 1.1 blocks per game. In conference play, Fulwiley is shooting 50 percent from the field and 40 percent from three-point range.
The next big test for the undefeated Gamecocks comes Thursday night, where they take on a ninth-ranked LSU on the road.
