Mount Olive College junior Andrea Jones, a Nansemond River High School graduate, averaged 16 points in two games last week as the Trojans’ winning streak reached eight games.

Last Wednesday night at home, Jones scored 18 points and added three rebounds, three assists and three steals in a 98-60 win over St. Andrews University. Jones hit 3-of-5 three-pointers in the win.

Mount Olive’s winning streak came to an end Saturday night in Gaffney, S.C. as Limestone College handed the Trojans a 76-64 loss in a battle of division leaders. Jones and her teammates struggled shooting from the field, but the junior managed 14 points and four steals.

Jones is currently fifth in Conference Carolinas in scoring at 17.3 per game.
