Last week, Jasmine Newsome was named Ohio Valley Freshman Player of the Week for Womens Basketball.

Jasmine Newsome, a 5-2 guard from The University of Tennessee at Martin women's basketball team, has been named the Ohio Valley Conference Freshman of the Week this afternoon by league officials in Brentwood.

Newsome, who prepped at Millington Central High School, averaged 19.0 points and 6.0 rebounds per game this past week. She helped the Skyhawks defeat Eastern Kentucky Saturday afternoon in Richmond with her 20 points and eight rebounds.

She also scored 18 points in the OVC opener for UT Martin at Morehead State this past Thursday.

Newsome is averaging 17.4 points per game this season and is among the nation's top 70 scorers.

The weekly honors are nominated and voted on by the women's basketball contacts and sports information directors.

This is the third week out of four that a UT Martin player has claimed the Freshman of the Week.
