SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Wofford’s Jackie Carman has been named the Southern Conference Women’s Basketball Player of the Week presented by GEICO for games played Feb. 8-14 after scoring 21 points with one rebound, three assists and two steals in the Terriers’ conference victory over Furman on Saturday. The award, Carman’s second of the season, is selected by the league office.
In Wofford’s lone game of the week, Carman helped the Terriers to their first-ever season series sweep of Furman. The senior guard’s 21 points marked her third 20-point performance of the 2021 campaign and her second in Wofford’s last three games. The Twinsburg, Ohio, native tallied five total 3-pointers in the victory, with her third moving her into sole possession of fifth on the all-time made 3s leaderboard in Wofford history, to register 125 career triples.
Carman shot 43.8 percent from the floor (7-of-16) and 35.7 percent (5-of-14) from behind the arc in 38 minutes of action. In conference play, she ranks fifth in scoring, averaging 13.9 points per game, and is tied for second in 3-point field goals made, averaging 2.5 made 3-pointers per game.
