When the question, “What else can Aerial Powers accomplish in one season?” pops up, the sophomore offers an impressive answer to college basketball supporters.

It was just this past Sunday Powers sent Breslin Center into a frenzy as she and the rest of the Spartans knocked off then-No. 20 Rutgers for their first victory over a ranked opponent since Dec. 21, when they played then-No. 22 Syracuse.

During the 60-50 upset, Powers would break former Chicago Sky standout, Liz Moeggenberg’s,, (then known as Liz Shimek) single-season points record after surpassing the 597th mark. She also garnered her 1,000 career point earlier this month against conference bottom dweller, Penn State.

But it wasn’t the only benchmark reached by the forward on senior day, heightening the double-double record to 22 to close out the regular season.

“Aerial Powers is an outstanding player. Just a great player,” Scarlet Knight’s head coach Charlaine Vivian Stringer said. “I think coach has done a great job utilizing her and (Tori) Jankoska. They complement each other very well, and she deserves all the credit.”

As the second-highest points per game leader (21.9) in the conference, behind Ohio State’s Kelsey Mitchell, Powers only needed one more game to solidify herself as one of the most productive offensive and defensive machines in the nation.

Sitting on top of the leaderboards at No. 7 in the country in rebounds per game, the 17 total rebounds recorded this past Sunday against Purdue passes Moeggenberg’s single-season rebounding record.

Having held the record since the 2004-2005 season, it took 11 full seasons before Shimek’s prominent total of 335 was outmatched. Powers’ double-digit rebounds in West Lafayette has brought the record to 350.

“I can’t image that anybody that’s ever showed up and watched us play had ever been disappointed, regardless of what has happened, to watch that kid’s maximum effort,” MSU women’s basketball coach Suzy Merchant told the Lansing State Journal last Saturday.
