Minnesota's Banham Earns Second Big Ten Freshman of the Week Honor

       

Minnesota guard Rachel Banham was named the Big Ten Women’s Basketball Freshman of the Week for the second time this season Monday after helping the Golden Gophers defeat NJIT last week in their final non-conference game of the year.
 
Banham, a freshman from Lakeville, Minn., scored a career-high 20 points on 7-for-13 shooting from the floor in the victory, while also contributing seven rebounds and four assists. Banham was also a perfect 4-of-4 from the free throw line and 2-of-3 from beyond the arch.
 
The rookie has led the Gophers in shooting in seven games this year, including five of Minnesota’s last six contests. When Banham leads the team in points, the Maroon and Gold is 5-2 on the year. 
 
The weekly honor is the second for Banham in her career and the second for the freshman in the month of December after earning the same distinction on Dec. 12.
