MANHATTAN, Kan. – Kansas State’s Leticia Romero
was rewarded with her third Phillips 66 Big 12 Freshman of the Week
honor on Monday afternoon, as she helped K-State register end a 10-year,
13-game losing streak to Oklahoma last week.
Romero is the third Wildcat and the first since the 2002 season to earn three Phillips 66 Big 12 Freshman of the Week honors.
For the week, Romero averaged 17.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 2.0 steals. She also registered a 1.4 assist to turnover ratio in 37.0 minutes per game.

This would have been the ninth triple-double in school history and the first since March 7, 2008. This was Romero’s third double-double of the season and her second against Oklahoma. This was the eighth game this season that Romero was responsible for 50.0 percent or more of K-State’s made field goals.
At Iowa State, Romero registered 11 points, four rebounds, four assists and two steals. With her four assists against the Cyclones, Romero became the fourth freshman in school history to register 100 assists in a single season.
