WBB: Huskers Add 2014 Missouri Valley Player of the Year


Recommended Posts

Kyndal Clark, the 2014 Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year and a 2015 member of the WBCA Allstate Good Works Team, will join the Nebraska women's basketball team as a fifth-year senior transfer for 2015-16, Coach Connie Yori announced on Thursday.

Clark, who will officially graduate from Drake on Saturday, averaged 19.3 points per game while knocking down a Missouri Valley Conference-record 116 three-pointers as a junior for the Bulldogs in 2013-14. Clark hit 41.1 percent of her threes on the season, including a scorching 45.3 percent (78-172) in MVC play.
The Webb City, Mo., native started all 98 games of her Drake career, including the season opener against South Dakota in 2014-15, when she scored 17 points in 37 minutes before suffering a season-ending injury.
Clark will have one season of eligibility at Nebraska and will be eligible to play for the Huskers immediately. She produced 1,418 points, 422 rebounds, 270 assists and 171 steals in 98 career games at Drake, while earning All-MVC honors in each of her first three seasons.
"We are thrilled to add a player of Kyndal Clark's caliber to our program, even if it is for just one season," Nebraska Coach Connie Yori said. "We recruited Kyndal out of Webb City High School, and we are excited to finally get a chance to coach her. She is coming off a pretty significant injury, but when she is healthy she is a talented player. She also can add a lot of leadership to our program."

A season-ending knee injury early last season to the Missouri Valley Conference's best women's basketball player morphed into a fortunate break for Nebraska.

 

The Huskers announced Friday that Drake guard Kyndal Clark - the 2014 Missouri Valley Player of the Year who missed all but one game last season because of a knee injury - will join NU as a graduate transfer. Clark, a 5-foot-5 guard, averaged 19.3 points as a junior at Drake, hitting 116 3-pointers for the Bulldogs. That set the MVC record. Clark is also a good defender, averaging 1.91 steals in 2014 and 2.48 steals in 2013.

 

Clark was originally recruited to the Missouri Valley by former Drake coach - and current Nebraska assistant - Amy Stephens. NU coach Connie Yori said in a statement Friday that Nebraska also recruited Clark out of Webb City (Missouri) High School.
