PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Sophomore Grace Jaffray scored her 1,000th career point for the JWU (Providence) women's basketball team in a 98-36 win over Gordon College Tuesday night in Conference of New England (CNE) action at the Wildcat Center. 

Jaffray – who finished with 28 points – becomes just the seventh student-athlete in program history to reach the milestone and the first to do so as a sophomore. With the win, the Wildcats extended their win streak to four and improved to 13-4 on the season (7-1 CNE).

Sophomores Isabella Suero and Mya Jiminez each scored 11 points while junior Alexa Lora finished with 10 for JWU, which raced out to a 22-3 lead after one and never looked back. Freshman Zoe Mercado added a career-high nine points off the bench and classmate Julia Blum filled the stat sheet with eight points, eight rebounds, two dimes and two steals.

Jaffray converted a fast-break layup with 2:10 remaining in the first to give the Wildcats a 20-3 lead and etch her name into the record books amongst the greatest women's basketball student-athletes in program history.

JWU finished with a 49-30 edge on the glass behind Blum's eight, six from Jiminez, and five from sophomore Mia Cruz. The Wildcats converted 24 Gordon turnovers into 29 points and shot 54 percent for the game (38-of-71).
