What She’s Done:

She’s done it all. Top five in the Centennial Conference in points (17.8 ppg), assists (3.6 apg), steals (2.1 spg) and minutes (38.5 mpg), Jowdy has put together an All-Conference caliber season. Though the Garnet are eliminated from playoff contention, heading into her final two games, Jowdy has 911 career points and a lot to be proud of.

Favorite Career Moment:

“My freshman year when we won ECACs. We worked so hard for that opportunity to play in that championship, and it was great to come up on top in that game. Not to mention it was pretty fun to hold the trophy up.”

What You’re Thinking Going Into Your Final Game:

“I am thinking about how great it has been playing a sport I love on a team that I call family. Basketball has influenced my life so much, and I would like to think it has helped me grow into a better person. I am so blessed to have had this opportunity, and I will always cherish my four years as a member of the Swat Team.”

Favorite Quote:

“We’re talking about practice. Not a game. Not even a game. We talking about practice, man.” – Allen Iverson
