PROVIDENCE, R.I. – JWU (Providence) freshman
Grace Jaffray has been named to the
D3hoops.com Team of the Week.
The Blue Hill, Maine native – who was named Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) Women's Basketball Player and Rookie of the Week on Monday – dropped in a school-record 43 points to lift the Wildcats a 74-51 win at Wheaton (MA) College Tuesday night, November 26 in non-conference action at Emerson Gymnasium.
Jaffray shot 14-of-31 from the field (44 percent) and knocked down 14-of-15 from the charity stripe (93 percent) en route to breaking the previous record of 41 set by JWU Hall of Famer Rocky Pederzani. Jaffray also snared 10 rebounds and collected five steals as JWU remained perfect on the season at 5-0 – it's best start in a decade.
Jaffray leads the GNAC and is No. 3 in the nation in scoring at 29.2 ppg.
The Wildcats head to Salem, Massachusetts on Wednesday for a 7 p.m. meeting with Salem State.
