JAZZ ON CENTER STAGE IN MUSIC CITY, USA
Junior guard Jazzmyn Elston was named the Ohio Valley Conference’s Newcomer of the Week on Tuesday after averaging 15 points during the Eagles two-game road trip to the Music City. The hooper torched the TSU Lady Tigers for 12 points in a win before breaking out for a game-high 18 points in a nail-biting loss at Belmont.
