Washington’s Kelsey Plum breaks NCAA women’s single-season scoring record

Plum already holds the record for career scoring.

Washington star Kelsey Plum added to her growing list of records on Monday night, breaking the NCAA record for points in a season. 

The record was previously held by Missouri State’s Jackie Stiles, who scored 1,062 points as a senior in 2001. Plum broke Stiles’s career scoring record in the Huskies’ regular season finale against Utah. 

Plum’s record-breaking night Monday came in a second-round NCAA tournament win over Oklahoma. She scored 38 points and added a career-high 11 assists to record her first career double-double.
