Two Mizzou WBB players earn All-SEC recognition
COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
Senior forward Hayley Frank and freshman guard Ashton Judd both earned All-SEC honors on Tuesday afternoon, as the regular-season came to an end on Sunday.
The league office named Frank on the All-SEC Second Team, while Judd was recognized on the All-SEC Freshman Team.
Frank continued her standout career in the black and gold in the 2022-23 season. She ranked ninth in the conference with about 15 points per game, shooting about 46 percent from the field and 39 percent from 3-point range this season.
As far as program records go, Frank moved up on the list of all time scorers in Mizzou history. She went from 34th to now 10th overall on that list. The senior scored 20 points or more in 10 different games this season. Her season-high came in two different games against both Tennessee and Alabama when she recorded 26 points in each contest.
Judd stood out in her first season in Columbia. The West Plains alum averages about seven points and three rebounds per game. She also ranks third in the SEC, shooting about 44 percent from beyond the arc. That percentage is is first among Mizzou freshmen all-time.
Fans saw a lot of growth in the freshman in the month of February. In a five game stretch, she hit double-digit scoring in four games.
It's not her first SEC honor. The league office named Judd the SEC Freshman of the Week, after putting up a season-high 17 points against Mississippi State and following it up with a 16-point game against Texas A&M days later.
Up next - both Judd and Frank will look to keep the 2022-23 season alive with a run in the conference tournament. No. 9 seeded Mizzou is set meet No. 8 seeded Arkansas on Thursday, March 2 at 11 a.m. in Greenville, S.C.
