Kelsey Mitchell continues to climb the all-time scoring charts.

Mitchell is already the all-time leading scorer in both Ohio State and Big Ten history, and now she's making a run at some of the national leaders, passing Baylor's Brittney Griner to take third on the NCAA Division I all-time scoring list.

NCAA Division I All-Time Scoring List: Women's Basketball
Rank Name Team Year Games Points
1 KELSEY PLUM WASHINGTON 2017 139 3,527
2 JACKIE STILES MISSOURI STATE 2001 129 3,393
3 KELSEY MITCHELL OHIO STATE 2018 135 3,284
4 BRITTNEY GRINER BAYLOR 2013 148 3,283
5 PATRICIA HOSKINS MISSISSIPPI VALLEY 1989 110 3,122
6 LORRI BAUMAN DRAKE 1984 120 3,115
7 JERICA COLEY FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL 2014 131 3,107
8 RACHEL BANHAM MINNESOTA 2016 144 3,093

Unless she increases her scoring output significantly and Ohio State makes a deep run in the Big Ten and NCAA tournaments, it's unlikely Mitchell will pass Washington's Kelsey Plum for the top spot.

It is likely, however, that Mitchell will pass Missouri State's Jackie Stiles for No. 2 all time. Mitchell sits just over 100 points behind Stiles. At her current pace of 24.5 points per game, Mitchell would need just over four games to hit that mark, likely during the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament.
