Jadee Rooney has been named the Great Lakes Valley Conference Women's Basketball Player of the Week after leading the Rangers to a 3-0 record last week. It's the third time in her career the league has chosen her for this award.
Rooney averaged 15.7 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 5.0 assists per game in wins over Trinity International, Grand Valley State, and Upper Iowa.
She played a key role in the Rangers regional showdown against Grand Valley State on Saturday. After being held scoreless in the first half, Rooney exploded for 25 second half points to go with six rebounds and five assists.
The senior from Markesan, Wis. also filled up the stat sheet in Tuesday's 75-58 win over Trinity. Rooney scored 18 points, handed out eight assists, while recording three rebounds and two steals.
She played limited minutes in Sunday's blow out victory over Upper Iowa.
For the season, Rooney is second on the team and tenth in the league in scoring at 14.5 points per game. She is also second in assists per game in the conference and fourth in assist-to-turnover ratio.
The Rangers will take their 5-1 record into conference play Thursday night with a 5:30 tip-off against Kentucky Wesleyan College.
