January 13, 2017
- Former Cumberland Valley star Kelly Jekot made her first collegiate start Friday with Villanova in a 69-52 afternoon win over Seton Hall. Jekot, who scored more than 2,000 points with the Eagles during a career highlighted by three PIAA Class AAAA championships, got the start because of an injury to Jannah Tucker. The freshman responded with a career high 17 points to go along with six rebounds for the Wildcats (7-9, 3-3 Big East). Jekot is averaging 6.1 points and 19.3 minutes per game while appearing in all 16 contests. She’s also averaging 3.7 boards, third on the team.

Ive done everything in my power, Ive said it 100 times, to be for the students, Marshall said. So, not only to win, but to hear that reaction for me by the other students is just something that shows people actually care about me [and] really support me.](https://wkuherald.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/jadenmarshall-1200x844.jpg)
