Women's basketball player Talicia Jackson has been named the American University Student-Athlete of the Week presented by GEICO, Department of Athletics and Recreation officials announced Monday.

Jackson scored a career-high 22 points in AU's season opening 70-61 win over Longwood University Friday night. The junior shot 6-15 from the floor and tied a career high with four three-point field goals made. Jackson was perfect from the free-throw line as well, sinking all six of her attempts. In 33 minutes the junior nabbed four rebounds including two offensive, dished out two assists and picked the pocket of four Lancers.
