MINNEAPOLIS – Minnesota freshman Grace Grocholski has been honored by the Big Ten for the second time this season as the conference's Freshman of the Week for her performances last week against Indiana and Michigan State.Â
The North Prairie, Wis., native dropped an average of 15 points, five rebounds and 2.5 assists while shooting 73.3 percent from the floor and 62.5 percent from beyond the arc. Grocholski led the way offensively against Indiana with 19 points on 8-of-9 shooting from the floor. In the win over Michigan State Grocholski helped hold the Spartans to 50 points, 38.5 points under their season average, with the Spartans 50 points being the least points scored against the Gophers since 2009 (44). Against MSU Grocholski chipped in 11 points while also adding six rebounds, four assists and a steal in the 69-50 victory at Williams Arena.Â
This season Grocholski is the only Big Ten freshman to average 10.9 points, 4.6 rebounds while shooting 36 percent or better from beyond the arc. The rookie has also proven that she can produce against top talent in the country, averaging 12.3 points per game against ranked opponents and shooting 42.9 percent from the floor and adding five rebounds per game.
Grocholski and the rest of the Gophers are in action on Tuesday, Jan. 23, on the road against Wisconsin (8-9, 1-6 B1G). Minnesota is back at home on Jan. 31, against Penn State. Fans interested in buying tickets for Gopher women's basketball this season can find more information at https://z.umn.edu/24sznTix or by calling the Minnesota Ticket Sales Office by phone at 1-800-U-GOPHER or by email at gophersports@umn.edu.
