Birmingham, Ala. – Valdosta State University senior Brittney Nelson was named the Noah Basketball Gulf South Conference Women’s Player of the Week on Tuesday.
 
Nelson tallied 41 points and 12 rebounds over two games, both wins for VSU, last week. She first dropped 20 points and ripped down eight boards against Alabama-Huntsville on Thursday. She followed that performance up with a 21-point, four-rebound effort against Shorter, a game in which she helped force overtime with a game-tying three pointer with five seconds left in regulation.
 
This marks the second time this season that Nelson has earned Player of the Week honors (11/20/12 and 02/11/13). She currently is tied for the lead in rebounding in the GSC with Mekena Randle of UNA, averaging 9.6 per game. She is also fifth in scoring (14.4 ppg).
