RELEASED: Mar. 1, 2001

 

DANVILLE, KY - Jennifer Patterson, a 6-0 sophomore center from Louisville, Ky., has been selected as the SCAC's Women's Basketball Player-of-the-Week. Patterson led the Colonels to two wins in Indiana, a share of the SCAC title and an automatic berth to the NCAA Tournament. She averaged 18.5 points per game, shooting a blistering 72.7% (16 of 22) from the field, and grabbed 15 rebounds, dished out four assists and had one block.

Patterson had her best game of the season in the biggest game of the season – Saturday's tournament-clinching 85-76 victory at DePauw. She had 25 points while sinking 11 of 13 shots from the field as Centre defeated the #15-ranked Tigers on their home floor.

For the season, Patterson is 16th in the SCAC in scoring (11.6ppg), and leads the league in both free throw percentage (82.2%) and field goal percentage (63.0%). She is the first player in conference history to finish the season as the league leader in both categories.
