MISHAWAKA- This week’s Player of the Week is Kelsey Brick­ner who re­cently reached her 1000-point mile­stone in bas­ket­ball. 

Brick­ner is a Ju­nior Ex­er­cise Sci­ence ma­jor, in­ten­tional with her choice to come to Bethel. 

Brick­ner says, “I came to Bethel be­cause I wanted to be in a Christ-cen­tered en­vi­ron­ment and be sur­rounded by peo­ple who re­flected Je­sus and I wanted to con­tinue play­ing bas­ket­ball.” 

Brick­ner is from Goshen, IN., and started play­ing bas­ket­ball in the 2nd grade. She played at North­ridge High School and says her fa­vorite mem­ory of her ca­reer is from when she was in high school and won Bas­ket­ball Re­gion­als for the first time in her school’s his­tory, then ad­vanced to semi-state, where they lost to the state cham­pi­ons.  

Just like the star-ath­lete en­joyed her time in high school, she con­tin­ues to en­joy her time at Bethel.  

“It’s spe­cial to be a part of a pro­gram where all of my team­mates and I are friends on an off the court,” says Brick­ner.
