The 6-0 forward is leading CSUN in field goal shooting (46.7), three-point shooting (49.1), free throw shooting (89.6), and is second in rebounding (4.7).
Jordyn Jackson was selected honorable mention All-Conference. At 11.7 points per game, Jackson is 13th in the Big West in scoring. The 5-4 guard scored in double figures in 19 of the 27 CSUN games this season. Jackson is shooting 35.6% from the floor as she is second on the club in made field goals (116) and leads the team in field goal attempts (326). Jackson is second on CSUN in made three-point field goals (28) and three-point field goal attempts (103).
Kayanna Spriggs was named to the Big West's All-Freshman team. Spriggs leads the Matadors in rebounding at 5.1 per game and is 15th overall in the Big West. The 6-2 post player is averaging 5.7 points per game which is fifth on the team. Spriggs has attempted a team-high 97 free throw attempts this year and her 55 made free throws are tied for second on the squad with Jackson.
The Matadors (9-18, 5-12 Big West) are the eighth seed and open the 2022 Hercules Tires Big West Basketball Championships, presented by The Hawaiian Islands Tuesday afternoon, taking on CSU Bakersfield, the ninth seed at noon.
The winner of the CSUN-CSUB game faces the No. 1 seed, Hawai'i on Wednesday at noon. CSUN and CSUB will be the first game played in the history of The Dollar Loan Center which opened to the public last week.
All the games in the 2022 Hercules Tires Big West Basketball Championships, presented by The Hawaiian Islands will be streamed on ESPN+ and can be heard on Sirius XM Radio (XM 380/Streaming 970).
This will be the 14th time CSUN will take part in a post season Big West Women's Basketball Tournament. The Matadors are 14-10 all-time and won the tournament three times, most recently in 2018.
The 2018 tournament is memorable as the Matadors, the fifth seed, won four games in five days to advance to the NCAA Tournament where CSUN faced the eventual national champion, Notre Dame. If CSUN is to earn a fourth Big West Tournament title, this is a feat that the Matadors will have to repeat.
CSUN defeated CSUB 53-52 in Bakersfield on Feb. 12 after having the scheduled game on Jan. 6 canceled due to COVID-19 protocols. Jayden Eggleson leads the Roadrunners (4-19, 3-11 Big West) in scoring and is third in the league at 15.3 points per game. She is the Big West leader in free throw shooting (88.5) and eighth in rebounding (6.3). The 'Runners lead the all-time series 6-3.
