    Indianapolis -- Youngstown State sophomore Kelly Reese has been named the Horizon League Diver of the Week, the league announced this morning.
    Reese, a native of Canfield, Ohio, won the 1-meter board with a score of 223.51 and finished second in the 3-meter with a score of 218.78 against Marshall on Saturday. She then posted season-best scores of 238.20 in the 1-meter and 232.70 in the 3-meter to place second and third at the Clarion Diving Invitational on Saturday.
