Rock Hill, S.C. – Anderson University women's basketball senior guard Heather Jankowy was named AstroTurf South Atlantic Conference Player of the Week for games played Feb. 13-19, as announced by the conference office on Monday.
The native from Walhalla, S.C., recorded 21.5 points per game and shot 66.7 percent from the floor in a pair of South Atlantic Conference wins last week. Jankowy became just the 12th Trojan to score 1,000 career points as she poured in 21 points in a 90-58 win over Brevard on Feb. 15. Jankowy connected on 7-of-11 field goals, including 5-of-9 from long range to go along with four assists, a steal and three rebounds against the Tornados. Three days later at Lenoir-Rhyne, Jankowy got hot from deep as she nailed 6-of-8 triples to finish with 22 points in a 77-76 win over the Bears. Jankowy's three-pointer with one minute remaining erased the two-point deficit to help the Trojans to the win. The senior leader finished the week with four rebounds and six assists as she picks up her second Player of the Week plaudit this season.
With her efforts, Jankowy moved into the fourth spot for Anderson's most career 3-pointers made (196) and moved into seventh place in career assists (296).
The Trojans return to action on Wednesday when they travel to SAC foe Lincoln Memorial. Tip-Off is scheduled for 6 p.m.
