ROSEMONT, Ill.- Lady Lions' senior+ Makenna Marisa is selected to the Big Ten Weekly Honor Roll as announced by the conference on Monday afternoon. Marisa earns a spot on the conference weekly honor roll for the second time in her career.
The guard out of McMurray, Pennsylvania had outstanding performances in both of Penn State's wins last week. In the Lady Lions 91-85 victory over Kansas, Marisa led the team with 34 points, matching her career high. Her massive scoring mark signified the 30th double figure scoring outing and eighth 30-plus-point performance of her career. The senior+ sits at ninth all-time in scoring at Penn State with 1,864 total points and her eighth 30-plus-point game ties her for second in most performances of that nature.
Marisa shot 11-for-18 (61%) from the field going 4-for-6 from deep while also contributing seven assists against the Jayhawks. The senior+ had another double figure scoring outing in the Lady Lions win over St. John's just three days later, with a team high 15 points and five assists. Through two games, the Pennsylvania native totaled 49 points, 12 assists, seven rebounds, two steals and one block.
Marisa has scored in double figures in all four of Penn State's games so far this season, leading the squad in points in two of the four and assists in two games as well.
The five-year Lady Lion member hits the floor on Monday, Nov. 20 in Nassau, Bahamas at the Baha Mar Pink Flamingo Tournament as the team takes on the Oklahoma State Cowgirls at 6:30 p.m.
