Big 12 honors KU’s Smith

Kansas University sophomore Caroline Smith has been named Big 12 Conference offensive player of the week for the third time this season.

Smith helped KU tie and set a school record for season wins last weekend, netting three goals for six points in wins over Oklahoma and Michigan.

The Edina, Minn., native registered one goal against OU, then scored both KU goals at Michigan to extend her school-record season total to 18. Smith leads the Big 12 in points (38), points per game (2.00), goals (18) and goals per game (0.95).

Kansas (14-4-1) wraps up its regular season at 3 p.m. Friday against Oklahoma State at SuperTarget Field.
