LSU Sports Information
LSU’s Mikaylah Williams, a former Parkway star, has been named the Freshman of the Year on the All-SEC team selected by the league’s coaches.
Williams scored 42 points in her fourth game against Kent State, the most by a LSU freshman in the NCAA era. She is averaging 14.9 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game.
She was held out of the Tigers’ 77-56 victory over Kentucky in the regular-season finale as a precaution because of a foot injury, according to LSU Head Coach Kim Mulkey.
She is expected to be in uniform for LSU’s opening game against Arkansas or Auburn Friday at 5 p.m. in Greenville, S.C.
LSU (26-4) is the No. 2 seed behind undefeated and top-ranked South Carolina.
LSU’s Angel Reese was named the Player of the Year.
She was also named to the All-SEC Defensive team.
Reess led the SEC in scoring (19.1 ppg) and rebounding (13.0 rpg) to become the first player since Wendy Scholtens from Vanderbilt in 1989 and 1990 as the only players to lead the league in both stats multiple seasons. Reese has recorded 20 double-doubles this year, including nine in a row, to give her a total of 54 at LSU after setting the NCAA record with 34 last year.
LSU’s Aneesah Morrow made the first team along with Reese.
