Krell is NAIA Division I women's basketball player of week

Second time in her career she has received honor

By Chris Wells, Sports Information Director

COLUMBIA, KY - Lindsey Wilson College sophomore center Viktoria Krell has been named the NAIA Division I Women's Basketball Player of the Week, according to the NAIA.

The Ludwigsburg, Germany, native, finished the week averaging 27 points and 18 rebounds per game while helping the No. 20-ranked Blue Raiders to a pair of Mid-South Conference wins.



"Viki was terrific this week," Lindsey Wilson women's basketball coach John B. Wethington said. "She was solid in the post and really showed a quite leadership out on the court when we needed the most.

"She deserves this recognition."

Krell helped the Blue Raiders overcome a 14-point first half deficit en route to a 60-48 win over then-No.9-ranked Campbellsville University last Thursday. Krell finished the game with 24 points and a career-high 19 rebounds helping Lindsey Wilson hand the Lady Tigers their first conference loss of the season.

To finish the week, Krell set another career-best scoring 30 points -- and adding 17 rebounds -- in a 70-64 win over host Georgetown College on Saturday.

With her week, Krell continued her march up the Lindsey Wilson all-time scoring and rebounding lists. In her 62-game career, Krell has 905 points -- 12th on the program's all-time list -- and she is sixth all-time with 567 rebounds.

Krell's 301 rebounds this season is already a single-season program record.

Krell is in the top-three in four different statistical categories in the Mid-South Conference. She leads the conference in rebounding (10.8) and double-doubles (16); she is second in scoring (18.3) and third in field goal percentage (52.1).

She becomes the first Mid-South Conference player to earn the weekly national honor this season. The NAIA award is the second of Krell's career. She also earned the award once last season.

Lindsey Wilson is 21-7 this season and 6-3 in the MSC. The Blue Raiders have won three in a row and six of their last seven after losing their first two conference games of the season.

The LWC Blue Raider Women's Basketball team returns to action at 5:00pmCT on Thursday, February 26, 2009, as Lindsey Wilson travels to West Virginia University Institute of Technology in Montgomery, WV.
