After posting 24 points in the two Terrier games last week, Wofford women's basketball sophomore guard Mary Jo Yee (Charlotte, N.C.) was recognized as the Jan. 12 TIAA-CREF SoCon Student-Athlete of the Week it was announced by the league office.

"She is one of the best pure shooters I've seen," said head coach Edgar I. Farmer Jr. "She is a great student of the game, which she makes look easy out on the court.

"This reward demonstrates all of her hard work on the court and in the classroom."

Yee scored a season-high 15 points against Furman last Wednesday, connecting on 5-of-8 (62.5 percent) 3-point attempts. The tally was one shy of her career-best outing.

She followed that performance with a nine-point showing versus Appalachian State Monday. Against the Mountaineers, she converted 5-of-6 (83.3 percent) of her shots from the foul line.

Her 11 rebounds in the two games also ranked third among Wofford players.

For the season, Yee is averaging 5.7 points per game and has started 12-of-15 contests. She holds a 81.0 percentage (17-of-21) from the foul line and her 15 treys is tied for second on the squad.

In the classroom, she leads the Terriers with a 3.55 grade-point average as a chemistry major.

Yee and the rest of the Wofford women's basketball team will resume their season at 1 p.m. Saturday at Georgia Southern in Statesboro, Ga.
