NEW ORLEANS – Tulane University women’s basketball redshirt junior guard Dynah Jones earned Player of the Week honors from the Louisiana Sports Writers Association on Monday. Each week the LSWA recognizes the top women’s basketball player in the state of Louisiana.
Jones received the honor after helping lead the Green Wave to a 2-0 week against American Athletic Conference competition by averaging 21.5 points on 50 percent shooting, 5.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists.
The New Orleans native tallied a career-high 25 points on 53.3 percent (8-of-15) shooting from the field in a home win over SMU Wednesday, February 23. She also connected at an 87.5 percent (7-8) clip from the free throw line while adding seven rebounds, two assists and one steal.
Jones followed that performance by leading the Green Wave in the scoring column again in a road victory over Temple on Saturday. Jones shot 46.7 percent (7-of-15) to score 18 points against the Owls. She also chipped in three rebounds and a pair of assists in Tulane’s 20th victory of the year. Her 18-point performance also helped her eclipse 1,000 career points at Tulane.
Up next, the Green Wave visits the Wichita State Shockers for the regular season finale on Wednesday, March 2. Tipoff between Tulane and the Shockers is set for 6 p.m. CT and will be aired live on ESPN+.
