STATESBORO, Ga. – Georgia Southern senior Anna Claire Knight and junior Briana Jones have been named second-team Preseason All-Sun Belt by College Sports Madness.
Knight was a 2014 All-Southern Conference selection and earned second-team all-tournament honors. The guard ranked third in the league in scoring with 15.9 points per game to go along with 4.6 rebounds and 1.9 assists a contest. She became just the third Eagle to score 400 points in a season since 1998-99 and the sixth player in school history to top the 1,000-point mark in her junior season. Knight scored in double figures in 27 games, topping the 20-point mark in five contests, and tallied the first triple-double in program history with 16 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists at Samford Jan. 6, 2014.
Jones averaged 7.7 points and 6.8 rebounds a game and was one of five Eagles to play in all 31 contests. The forward/center ranked eighth in the SoCon in rebounding and 12th in field goal percentage. She posted five double-doubles and scored in double figures in 12 contests, and her 26 blocked shots were the most for an Eagle since 2008-09.
Georgia Southern returns eight letterwinners from last year's squad, including three of the top-5 scorers and rebounders. The Eagles begin their first campaign in the Sun Belt Conference, a historically multi-bid women's basketball league, and will play a 20-game round-robin conference schedule – all doubleheaders with the men's team.
