DALLAS – UTSA junior Jordyn Jenkins has earned her fourth Conference USA Player of the Week honors, after putting up a career-high 40 points and breaking the single-season scoring program record last week.
Jenkins is the only Roadrunner to earn C-USA Player of the Week four times in a single season since UTSA joined the conference in 2013. When UTSA was in the Southland Conference, one Roadrunner won the award five times in a season and that was Monica Gibbs in 2008-09.
Jenkins earned the award after leading the Roadrunners to a perfect 3-0 week last week. She led the team in scoring in all three games last week, including a 68-67 OT win over North Texas on the road, a 77-61 win over Florida Atlantic at home and a 85-79 win over FIU in the home finale. These three wins is UTSA's longest winning streak this season and helped UTSA jump from 10th to 7th in the C-USA standings.
The Kent, Wash., native averaged 33.0 points including a career-high 40-point game, 26-point game and 33-point game. With 99 points in this past week alone, Jenkins officially broke the UTSA program record for points scored in a single season. She now has 587 points this season, beating the previous record of 583 (which was set 32 years ago by Tammy Rogers in 1990-91). With 11 rebounds paired with 40-point performance against North Texas on Feb 20, she notched her ninth double-double of the season - leading the conference in the category. Jenkins leads the conference in seven categories - 50.0 field goal percentage, 208 field goals, 190 free throw attempts, 149 free throws, 587 points, 21.0 points per game and 213 rebounds.
UP NEXT: The Roadrunners conclude the regular season in Charlotte, N.C., as they play the defending champion Charlotte 49ers on Thursday, March 2. Tip-off is set for 5 p.m. CT on ESPN+ for the regular season finale.
