Kuhns made history on Monday by becoming the first-ever Mercyhurst women’s basketball player to earn NEC/Atlantic Tomorrow’s Office Player of the Week distinction. The Keystone State product did so after she continued her torrid scoring spree in the Lakers’ lone game of the week, a 64-63 overtime loss at Cornell. Kuhns registered the NEC’s first 30-point outing of the season and accounted for more than half of her team’s scoring in the hard-fought defeat by dropping 32 points on 15-of-25 (60.0 percent) shooting. That effort is tied for 32nd among all NCAA Division I players, while her 15 makes from the field are tied for the most by a player in the nation this season. In addition, the junior forward hauled in 10 rebounds for her first double-double of the campaign. Netting double figures in each of her seven games this season, including a league-leading three 20-plus point outings, Kuhns is ranked first in the NEC and is tied for 28th in the nation in scoring with 19.6 points per game.
