Mount Olive sophomore guard Andrea Jones (Nansemond River) was named the Conference Carolinas Women’s Basketball Player of the Week on Tuesday and followed her award up with a big role in Mount Olive’s 68-66 win versus Queens Wednesday night.

Queens led 64-58 with 1:52 left. Jones capped a Lady Trojan comeback with the final four points of the game.

Jones stole a Queens inbounds pass and turned it into a lay-up to tie the score with 0:24 left.

Mount Olive forced a Queens three-pointer to be off the mark. Mount Olive got the rebound and Jones was fouled driving down the court with 0:02 left. Jones made both free throws for the winning margin. She finished with 22 points on the night. For the two games, two Mount Olive wins, during the previous week Jones averaged 17.0 points per game.
