Freshman of the Week

Danielle Ballard • LSU

Guard • Memphis, Tenn.

• Ballard led LSU in scoring in both of its wins last week with a pair of 21-point games.

• She became the first LSU freshman with back-to-back 20-point games since Seimone Augustus did it in LSU’s first two games of the 2003 SEC Tournament nearly 10 years ago.

• Against Grambling, in addition to her 21 points, she tied an LSU freshman record with seven steals.

• That tied for fifth most overall in LSU single-game annals and tied the freshman mark set by LSU great Joyce Walker vs. SE Louisiana on Feb. 12, 1981.

• The following game, Ballard fired in 21 points, collected four more steals and drained a career-best 9-of-10 from the free throw line, including two late that iced the game.

• In two games last week, Ballard averaged 21.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 5.5 steals.
