Kerner eclipsed the 30-point mark for the first time this season on her way to claiming the Choice Hotels NEC Player of the Week award. In scoring more than 20 points for the fifth time in 10 games this season, the senior guard poured in 35 points on Nutmeg State rival Yale. Kerner connected on 10-of-22 shots from the field and was equally impressive from the free throw line where she sunk 13-of-14 attempts. The preseason all-NEC selection scored 12 of Quinnipiac’s final 18 points of regulation as the Bobcats and Bulldogs were deadlocked at 70 heading into overtime. Only one of four players to score at least 30 points in a game this season, Kerner accomplished the feat for the first time since her memorable 38-point showing on 14-of-26 shooting in the 2008 NEC semifinal at Long Island.
