Tamara Jones has done something no other Lady Eagle have done in a career - that is score 40 or more points in two games. Jones is the top returning player from last year's team that tied a school-record with 27 victories. Jones was a big part of that success as she finished second on the team in scoring at 14.4 points per game while leading the team in rebounds. For her efforts in her first season, Jones was tabbed Conference USA's Newcomer of the Year.
Jones took some time out of her schedule to share a bit of information with the Athletic Media Relations Office.
