After leading Mansfield to a thrilling conference victory at Lock Haven on Saturday, Brielle Kelly has been named both PSAC East Athlete of the Week and Freshman of the Week.

It marks the second straight week that Kelly has earned PSAC East Freshman of the Week accolades.

Kelly played a critical role in the Mountaineers' exhilarating 53-50 victory at Lock Haven, scoring a game-high 21 points including the final nine points of the game. The rookie went 8-of-16 from the floor, including a trey, while adding four free throws. Kelly was just one rebound shy of a double-double for the third straight game.

Saturday's victory was Mansfield's second in three game and third of the season.

On Wednesday, Kelly notched a then career-high 17 points as the Mounties were edged by Millersville 83-72 at Decker Gymnasium. The forward connected on an incredible 13-of-16 attempts from the free throw line in the loss.

Kelly ranks second on the team in both scoring (10.1 ppg) and rebounding (5.7 rpg) this season.

The Mountaineers host Shippensburg on Wednesday at First Citizens Community Bank Court at Decker Gymnasium.
