ROSEMONT, Ill. – Sophomore Kaila Charles of the 13th-ranked Maryland women's basketball team was named Big Ten Player of the Week Monday for her second career weekly honor.

Against No. 12 Ohio State Monday, Charles went 12-for-16 from the field and 7-for-8 at the free throw line for a career-high 32 points. She added seven boards, three blocks and an assist. At Northwestern Thursday, she fought through foul trouble for a team-high 17 points with two steals, a block and an assist.

Earlier this season, Charles was named to the Big Ten Player of the Week Honor Roll on Dec. 4. Last year, she earned Big Ten Freshman of the Week honors on Jan. 23.
