Omaha, Neb. -- Capping a special week the saw redshirt-senior Jaylyn Agnew set the Creighton record for points in a single-game at 43 on Sunday, the forward earned the highest honor on Wednesday, March 4th as she was named the BIG EAST Player of the Year.
Agnew claimed the BIG EAST scoring title with the highest average (23.1) since Louisville's Angel McCoughtry averaged 26.6 points per game in 2008-09. She most recently matched McCoughtry's BIG EAST single-game scoring record with 43 points in Sunday's regular-season finale against Georgetown, snapping a Creighton program record (42) which had been on the books since 1982.
