During the game, she moved into second place on Tech’s all-time scoring chart with 1,716 points. Against Grand Valley State (Feb. 13), Wysocky notched 13 points, 14 rebounds and five assists. The senior All-America candidate is averaging 17.6 points, 11.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists on the season. She owns career marks of 1,730 points and 1,119 rebounds.

Tech has had eight of the 12 GLIAC North Division Players of the Week in 2009-10. Wysocky earned the honor Nov. 23, Dec. 14, Jan. 4, Jan. 11 and Jan. 25 in addition to this week. Danae Danen (Dec. 21) and Katie Zimmerman (Feb. 1) have also gained the award.
