INDIANAPOLIS -- Cleveland State senior Kailey Klein has been named Horizon League Women's Basketball Player of the Week for the period of Jan. 4-10. The selection marks Klein's seventh career weekly honor from the League office and her second this season.
Klein, a guard from Cherry, Ill., averaged 24.3 points and 10.3 rebounds in three Horizon League contests last week. She nailed 25-of-53 (.472) from the field, 7-of-20 (.350) from beyond the arc and 16-of-20 (.800) from the free-throw line.
The Vikings improved to 7-8 on the campaign last week with wins over Milwaukee on Monday (73-61) and UIC on Saturday (73-64). CSU also dropped a 66-63 decision at Loyola on Thursday.
