Among Snow’s Friday superlatives were: Only 40-point, 10-rebound game in MSU history; JQH Arena scoring record and most points by a Lady Bear since Jackie Stiles in 2001; school records for free throws made (21) and attempted (29); tied MVC record for single-game free throw attempts and ranked second in makes; 2015-16 NCAA single-game highs for free throws made and attempted; and career highs in rebounds and blocks.
Sunday against Bradley, the Blue Springs, Mo., native tallied 22 points on 9-of-16 shooting, setting another career high in blocked shots with five, the most by a Lady Bear since 2011.
