Griffin nets season-high 12 points (Basketball)
July 10, 2011
Eagle River’s Kelsey Griffin doesn’t start for the Connecticut Sun, but she seems to be one of the more influential players on the team.
Connecticut is 5-1 this season when the former Big 12 Player of the Year scores six points or more. A defensive specialist, she averages only 4.2 per game.
But a funny thing happened last night.
Griffin, of Chugiak High fame, bagged a season-high 12 points but the Sun lost 90-67 to Minnesota.
The 6-foot-2, second-year WNBA forward made a season-high four field goals and matched her season high of four free throws in 24 minutes.
She added five rebounds, a steal and an assist.
