Over the last two years, no two words have reverberated around Walsh Gymnasium more than “JaQuan Jackson.” The words became calling cards for a momentum-shifting three-pointer, or better, a dagger that secured a win for Tony Bozzella’s team.
On May 7, still two weeks away from receiving her Bachelor in Social and Behavioral Sciences, Jackson had officially risen from Pirate to Royal, signing with storied German club Saarlouis Royals of the Damen Bundesliga (translation: Ladies National League).
The Royals enjoyed back-to-back title-winning seasons in 2008-09 and 2009-10, but have seen the other side of the coin as well in recent years, experiencing relegation in 2011-12 after a last-place finish.
