Northwestern's Sara Jones became the school's all-time leading girls basketball scorer last week.

The senior guard scored 18 points in a win over Emmaus to push her career total up to 1126 and eclipse Dana Stellar's mark of 1,110.

"It feels great," said Jones. "Knowing the girls that have done it before, being a part of that club feels good.

"I really couldn't do it without my team. I know I say that all the time, but it's true."

Jones has been the team's leading scorer for all four years of her career. The team has gotten better each year. She has also developed into one of the best leaders head coach Chris Deutsch has ever coached.

"Her leadership, I've never seen anything like it," he said. "She doesn't like to be recognized out in front. She'd rather pass the credit to other people."

Jones is considering moving on to the Naval Academy next year where she would walk onto the Cadets' basketball team.

But she has unfinished business to complete over the next two months. While she is proud of her individual accomplishments, they pale in comparison to team goals. She's glad to have the scoring record out of the way so the team can focus on winning a title or two.

"We can now focus on playoffs," Jones said. "There are no more records to break. I just want to get some numbers on that girls basketball championship banner before I leave her."

With the 17 points she scored in Tuesday's win over Notre Dame (Green Pond) Jones has 1143 points in her career.
