Mokena Native Breaks All-Time Points Record At SXU

CHICAGO, IL - The Saint Xavier University women's basketball program has a new all-time points leader. Senior guard Kara Krolicki, a native of Mokena and 2014 alum of Lincoln-Way East High School, broke the previous school record for points scored in a career when she put in a game-high 25 in a Dec. 28 Cougars' win over visiting Goshen (Ind.) at the Shannon Center. Krolicki's mark was at 2,331 career points scored after the game, topping the previous record held by former SXU star Morgan Stuut.

It was a three-pointer she hit with under two minutes to go in the third quarter against Goshen that gave her the record, according to SXU Sports Information.

Having played in two games since the victory over Goshen, Krolicki's total now stands at 2,350 career points as of Jan. 8, 2018.

Krolicki currently leads an SXU team that is 13-2 overall and ranked No. 1 in the NAIA Division II Women's Basketball Poll. The team is coming off the program's first ever appearance in the NAIA Championship Game in 2017.
