Senior tri-captain... has appeared in all possible 87 games and has started every game in two of her three seasons... active career leader in points (1,011), scoring average (11.6), three-pointers (131), free throw percentage (77.7) and assists (111)... all-time, third in FT percentage, tied for fourth in three-point percentage (32.7) and three-point attempts (401) and fifth in three-pointers made...
Coach Bierly: “I’m really excited for Jordyn this year. She has big goals, and I think she has a chance to achieve a lot of them. Jordyn is a captain and most of the freshman probably feel more comfortable with her way of leading in a quiet and calm way. The thing about her is that she can go 0-for-10 (shooting), then make seven straight three pointers; it doesn’t really phase her all that much.”
