Brown scores career high in YSU win

Brandi Brown didn't disappoint on "Brandi Brown Appreciation Day" on Saturday afternoon at the Beeghly Center. Brown scored a career-high 42 points and grabbed 21 rebounds as the Penguins beat Wright State 64-54.

For the game, Brown was everywhere. She was 13-of-27 from the field, 4-of-12 from behind the 3-point line and 12-of-18 from the free-throw line. She had 21 rebounds to put together one of the best all-around single-game performances in school history.

The 42 points were the most in a game since Brianne Kenneally scored 43 points against Georgia State on Nov. 24, 2000. That number also ranks fifth in school history in single game scoring. Brown has now scored 81 in the past two games.

The victory improves the Penguins to 20-7 overall and helps them remain in second place in the Horizon League at 10-4. Wright State falls to 11-17 and 5-10.
