Kierstan Bell shared both the ASUN Player of the Week and Newcomer of the Week with Stetson's Yazz Wazeerud-Din.
If you watched KSU play FGCU last weekend that comes as no surprise.
Bell has now won outright or shared ASUN Player of the Week for the last 3 weeks and Newcomer of the Week for the last 5 weeks.
Bell is the only girl to win Ms. Basketball (high school) 3 years in a row in Ohio. She's in good company -- only one boy has won Mr. Basketball 3 years in a row in Ohio -- LeBron James.
The Stetson player played at Pope and then transferred to Wheeler.
