Kelsey Mitchell's 442 Three-Pointers Tops All Divisions of Women's College Basketball

Kelsey Mitchell already owned the NCAA Division I record for career three-point field goals, but now she has the most threes of anyone in any division of women's college basketball.

With a second-quarter three-pointer against Maryland on Monday night, Mitchell has now hit 442 from behind the arc, passing Laura Malernee, who hit 441 in Division II for West Liberty from 2007 to 2011.

Interestingly enough, Malernee grew up in Buckeye country, hailing from Gahanna, Ohio where she attended Gahanna Lincoln High School.

In addition to the three-point record, Mitchell passed both Maya Moore and Elena Delle Donne on the all-time scoring list. She now sits at No. 8.

The next major record in Mitchell's sights is the Big Ten All-Time scoring record. Mitchell entered Monday night's game with 3,033 career points, just 60 points shy of Rachel Banham's record 3,093.

Mitchell is currently averaging just over 25 points per game. If she maintains that pace, she'll break the record at home on Saturday when the Buckeyes host Michigan State at noon in Value City Arena.
