Ohio State’s women’s basketball team was able to secure an easy 103-77 win over Florida in Gainesville last night, but the biggest news from the game was Kelsey Mitchell breaking Ohio State’s all-time scoring record. Previously, Jantel Lavender set the bar with 2,818 career points, but now the top spot belongs to Mitchell, whose 30 points in the victory gives her 2,840 career points.
Last night’s performance against the Gators was Mitchell’s fifth 30-point performance of the year, and now sees her 253 points behind Rachel Banham’s Big Ten record of 3,093 career points. Banham achieved the mark during her time at Minnesota, and was taken by the Connecticut Sun with the fourth pick in the 2016 WNBA Draft.
