Providence, R.I. - Boston College senior guard Amber Jacobs (Clarks Summit, Pa.) was named BIG EAST Co-Player of the Week Monday morning after her solid effort over the last week. The honor is her first selection of the season. It marks the second consecutive week that an Eagle player has been so honored by the conference office.
In a 3-0 week, Jacobs averaged 19.7 points and 6.7 assists as she led her team to the championship of the Brown Classic. For her efforts over the two games, she was named the Tournament MVP. It was the second in-season tournament championship for the Eagles, who had previously won the Coors Rocky Mountain Invitational over Thanksgiving.
Jacobs averaged 19.5 points, seven assists, and three three-point field goals per game in tournament play. In addition, she posted 20 points, six assists and just one turnover in her team's 90-43 win over Holy Cross. Over the three games, Jacobs shot 55.3% (21-38) from the field and 9-for-14 from three-point range.
Jacobs and Jessalyn Deveny are tied as the team's leading scorer with 18.6 points per game. She has scored in double digits in all but one of BC's games this year. She has posted 20 or more points in six of her team's seven games.
The Eagles (7-0) travel to George Washington this week, for a 5:30 p.m. tip-off Wednesday night. They will return to Conte Forum December 21 for a 2:00 p.m. tilt with Sacred Heart.
