The Bloomington, Ind., native has led the Hoosiers in scoring all year with 15.0 points per game. She currently ranks 12th in scoring and seventh in free throw percentage (84-102/.824) among the Big Ten Conference players.
Valentin scored her 1,000th career-point vs. then-No. 3/4 Ohio State on Jan. 20, to become the 19th player in school history to accomplish this feat and just the ninth to do so during her junior year. She was honored as Big Ten Player of the Week for the period ending Dec. 13 for the first time in her career and has tallied eight 20-plus scoring performances this season.
The 5-8 guard notched a career-high 30 points on a 10-for-15 shooting effort from the field on Dec. 6 vs. Indiana State. In addition, she recorded her first career double-double on Dec. 12 vs. Boston University with 20 points and 10 rebounds.
Valentin and the Hoosiers head to the Big Ten Tournament as the No. 9 seed and will face No. 8 seed Wisconsin on Thursday, March 3 at 3 p.m. All tournament games will be played at Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
