Jessie Edwards has been named to the Big Ten Player of the Week Honor Roll. The conference honor is the first for the Leeming, Australia, native.

Edwards scored a career-high 29 points to lead Minnesota to a win against Belmont. She scored 11 points in the fourth quarter alone and shot 7-of-8 from the free throw line over the game.

Edwards is the third Gopher to earn a Big Ten weekly honor this season. Carlie Wagner (Nov. 21 Player of the Week Honor Roll) and Gadiva Hubbard (Dec. 5 Freshman of the Week) were previously recognized.
