Jenna Lowe ties Berea College Record for Threes
The game record ties mark set by Rebecca May.
Sophomore guard Jenna Lowe (Carrolton, KY) tied a school record when she connected on 9 of 19 3-point field goal attempts to lead #23 Berea College to a 104-78 victory at KIAC rival St Louis College of Pharmacy on January 27. The only other Berea player to rack up 9 treys in a game is Lowe's teammate Rebecca May, whose 159 long-range bombs set the all-time NAIA-II record last season.
"It was an amazing experience to come that close to breaking a school record held by such a good shooter," Lowe said. "I can only thank my teammates for trying so hard to get me the ball and rooting me on from the sidelines to keep shooting. If it weren't for them, it wouldn't have happened."
Lowe played 20 minutes against STLCOP and added 5 rebounds, 2 assists, and a steal to her 27 points. According to Berea coach Bunky Harkleroad, "Jenna is a good athlete who is capable of being a big game shooter. In addition to her 9 threes, Jenna had several shots that went in and out, and that could have made her day that much more impressive. Her confidence is going to be a big key for us during the remainder of the season and in years to come. Although Jenna is only a sophomore, she is one of our team leaders."
