Sophomore guard Andreika Jackson has been named the Skyhawk of the Month for her efforts over the month of January.

The 5-foot 8-inch, Decatur, Ga. native, had a career high 33-points and 14 rebounds, picking up her first double-double of the season in the victory over Ohio Valley Conference rival Murray State.

In the away victory against the Morehead State Eagles, Andreika picked up 16 points, shooting an impressive 60 percent from the field with nine rebounds.

Jackson leads the Skyhawks with 239 points, 114 rebounds, and 22 steals after 21 games.

Because of these feats, Jackson was named as the OVC Player of the Week for the week of Jan. 24.

Helping Jackson out on the court with their own impressive efforts were senior guard Danielle Paige, senior forward Leigh Ann Davidson, junior guard Nicole Rivers and freshman forward Tiffany Arnold.

Paige knocked down 11 points in the victory over Morehead, the other only player to score in double digits that night. Both Davidson and Rivers each picked up five rebounds against the Eagles.

In the loss to Eastern Kentucky, Jackson was held to single digits for the first time all season and ended up in foul trouble early in the first half.

Arnold came off the bench to score 16 points in 16 minutes. She was 7-7 from the floor and 2-3 from the foul line.

Paige also picked up 10 points and eight assists in the conference loss against EKU.

The women’s basketball team is now 6-13 on the season, posting a 5-3 OVC record.

They next take the floor Thursday, Feb. 3, against Southeast Mo. State at 5:30 p.m.
