CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. - Freshman guard Amber Jacobs (Clarks Summit, Pa.) was named BIG EAST Rookie of the Week for women's basketball on Dec. 18. It is her first league honor of the 2000-2001 season.
In the Eagles' lone game last week, Jacobs netted a career-high 23 points on nine-for-14 shooting to lead all scorers against Dartmouth. She also connected on two-of-four three point field goal attempts in the game, while making two steals and adding three assists. She played 38 minutes in the contest.
In eight games this season, Jacobs has averaged 12.3 points per game to lead the Boston College squad. She is ranked 12th in the BIG EAST with a 3.6 assists per game average. Earlier this season, she was named to the all-tournament team at the Chevrolet Classic in East Lansing, Mich. for her play in the Eagles' two games against Tennessee Tech and Michigan State.
Jacobs's honor marks the second-straight week that an Eagle was named Rookie of the Week. On Dec. 11, classmated Janelle McManus received the nod.
