Yandrisevits Career Poster

EAST STROUDSBURG - Jackie Yandrisevits is the first East Stroudsburg University women's basketball player to be named to the Daktronics All-Region team in 13 years after earning second team recognition from the sports information directors in the Atlantic Region.

The senior forward from Wind Gap, Pa. (Nazareth HS) is the Warriors' first All-Region selection since Lori Pio (first team) and Stacy Perryman (second team) were mentioned as seniors following the 1995-96 season.

Yandrisevits will graduate as ESU's all-time leading scorer with 1,784 career points and passed both Perryman (1,695) and Pio (1,527) on her way to the record. Claudine Simard is second with 1,733 points, and Tonia Lloyd had 1,675 points to round out the top five scorers in school history.

On Tuesday, Yandrisevits was named to the All-PSAC East first team for the third straight year and was an all-conference selection during all four of her seasons at ESU.

She is the only women's basketball player from the PSAC to be named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District II team in each of the last two years and had a 3.62 grade-point average as a Health and Physical Education teacher certification major entering her final semester at ESU.

Yandrisevits made her mark in nearly every category of ESU's career record book. She is the only player in school history to rank in the top five in field goal, free throw and three-point percentage, holds the record with a 39.1-percent mark from long range, and joins Lloyd as the only two players in the top five in steals (5th, 178) and blocks (4th, 96).

She was ESU's leading scorer all four years, culminating with 20.1 points per game as a senior, which is the second-highest average at the school in the last 48 years. She averaged 16.1 points per game for her career, sixth all-time, and is also sixth with 718 career rebounds.

Yandrisevits opened her career at ESU as the PSAC East Rookie of the Year in 2005-06, when she led the Warriors with 13.5 points per game. She was the top scorer and rebounder on the 2006-07 team that went 25-4 and tied the school record for wins, and led ESU to the PSAC playoffs for the third straight year while averaging 16.0 points and 6.4 rebounds per game as a junior.

She became the fifth ESU player to hit the 1,000-point mark as a junior when she scored a career-high 35 points and had eight rebounds, four assists, four steals and five blocked shots in an overtime win vs. Moravian on January 9, 2008. From that point, she averaged 18.8 points per game over the final 43 games of her career to set the school record.

Her top games as a senior included 30 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists vs. Lock Haven; 29 points, 12 rebounds and five steals at Kutztown; 23 points and 15 rebounds at home against Kutztown; 29 points, eight rebounds, five steals and three blocks vs. Shippensburg; and 29 points and 10 rebounds on February 21 at Cheyney when she became ESU's all-time leading scorer.

The Daktronics All-Region teams in basketball, football, soccer, women's volleyball, baseball and softball are voted on by members of the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). The Atlantic Region of Division II includes the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC), West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WVIAC) and Central Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (CIAA).
