9741 WOMEN'S BASKETBALL EASTERN DIVISION ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

Ariel Jones
Shippensburg (So. / G)
Lebanon, Pa. / Cedar Crest


Jones was solid for the Raiders in a 2-1 extended week. She averaged 30.3 points per game -- scoring at least 26 in each game -- averaged 7.3 rebounds per game, 3.0 assists per game, and shot 51 percent from the field. In a six-point win at Shepherd, Jones tied career highs with 36 points and nine rebounds. Jones scored 19 of her 36 points in the fourth quarter – hitting a pair of three-pointers, shooting 4-of-6 from the field and 9-of-10 at the free-throw line over the final 10 minutes. The entire fourth quarter was played within five points between the two teams. At Gannon, Jones scored 29 points and tied her most accurate performance at the free-throw line in her career (11-of-11 at Kutztown on Feb. 12, 2018). It was the second straight game and seventh time in her career that Jones has made double-digit free throws. At Clarion, the Golden Eagles grabbed their only lead of the game with 3:49 remaining on a pair of free throws, but Jones immediately responded with a three-pointer and a traditional three-point play on consecutive positions and the Raiders would not trail the rest of the way. SU closed the game on a 12-1 run. Jones finished with her first collegiate double-double, posting game highs with 26 points and a career-high 12 rebounds. She also recorded a career-high six steals; led the team with four assists, made Shippensburg's only three-pointer and finished 7-of-10 at the free-throw line.
