NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Vanderbilt’s Koi Love has been named SEC Player of the Week Tuesday after averaging 20 points and 14 rebounds per game in the Commodores’ pair of victories last week against ETSU and Chattanooga.
In Tuesday’s game at home against the Bucs, Love scored 19 points and set a career high with 12 rebounds in the 20-point win. She also added four steals and three blocks to her line.
Just days later at Chattanooga, she led the team with 21 points and set a career high with 16 rebounds to go with three assists, two blocks and three steals. Over the course of the first 20 minutes alone she had a double-double with 15 points and 11 rebounds to keep the Commodores within striking distance in Vandy’s come-from-behind road victory.
Another big day from @koilove10 with 2⃣1⃣ points and 1⃣6⃣ rebounds.
The 16 boards are the most in a game for a Commodore since one of her coaches, @mwebb_22, pulled down 15 in 2016.#AnchorDown pic.twitter.com/oMWGMndx3z

Recording 16 rebounds, the number also marks the most in a game by a Commodore since assistant coach Marqu’es Webb had 15 on Dec. 5, 2016, against Tulane.
While earning the SEC honor, Love also picked up SEC Player of the Week honors from College Sports Madness this week.
Vanderbilt is back in action with two games this week against VCU (Thursday) and Gardner-Webb (Sunday). Both games are set to tip at 2 p.m. on SEC Network+.
