Entering the season, last thing Jessica January thought would be an injury hindering her preseason Big East player of the year predictions.
Regardless, January has remained optimistic about her injury and rehab process. Before being sidelined with a broken finger, January was the leading-scorer on the team, averaging 15.3 points and 6.6 assists per game. The Blue Demons squad has stepped up and filled the void, going 11-1 since her injury.
“It’s a testament to the type of players coach Bruno recruits,” January said. “He recruits players that step up in the big moments. I’m really proud of my team.
