Brice Sensabaugh has done it again.

On Tuesday, the first-year Buckeye was awarded his third consecutive Big Ten Freshman of the Week award following his standout performances against Alabama A&M and Northwestern in which he collected a combined 39 points on 16-of-28 shooting with 14 rebounds, two blocks and one assist in both contests.

While Sensabaugh has now won three Big Ten Freshman of the Week honors in a row for the Ohio State men's team, Cotie McMahon claimed the same honor on the women's side for the fourth consecutive week on Monday.

A former top recruit from Centerville, Ohio, McMahon averaged 18 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.5 steals and 1.5 blocks for the Buckeyes' wins over Northwestern on the road on Wednesday and then-No. 14 Michigan at the Covelli Center on Saturday.

Through Ohio State's first 15 games – in which the team tied a program-best start to the season with a 15-0 record – McMahon has been vital to the team's success, averaging 12.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.3 steals and 2.1 assists per contest.

With matchups against Minnesota and Illinois on Ohio State's schedule over the next five days, head coach Kevin McGuff and the Buckeyes would love to see McMahon put forth efforts that would make her worthy of a fifth straight Big Ten Freshman of the Week award.
