Young making a case for OVC Freshman of the Year Posted By: Simon Elfrink February 3, 2021 Jakob Milani jmilani@murraystate.edu Freshman forward Katelyn Young has burst onto the scene as a legitimate OVC Freshman of the Year candidate, becoming the post presence Murray State women’s basketball has lacked in recent years. For those watching the Racers’ first game of the season against now-ranked No. 15 University of Kentucky, there was an unfamiliar face on the floor. This 6’1” forward was in the starting lineup leading the charge for Murray State. That forward from Oakwood, Illinois, was none other than Young. While the Racers might’ve fallen short to one of the best teams in the country, Young nabbed the first double-double of her career at 14 points and 14 rebounds in her first career game.
