MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Taylor Sutton became just the second freshman in Middle Tennessee history to be named United States Basketball Writers Association (USBWA) National Freshman of the Week when she was so honored Tuesday.
Sutton's national honor comes on the heels of earning Conference USA's Freshman of the Week award Monday. The Atlanta, Ga., native joins sophomore teammate Anna Jones as the only Lady Raiders to be named USBWA National Freshman of the Week.
"Not a lot of true freshman around the nation have a chance to impact the game at a high level but the ones who do generally have a chance to be special players," said Middle Tennessee Hall of Fame Coach Rick Insell.
