November 13, 2010 - In her second career start, Hillsdale College sophomore guard Lea Jones had the best game of her career, and helped the Chargers to a perfect weekend in Texas.

Jones, the team's first-year starter at point guard,set career-highs in both scoring (17) and rebounds (10), as Hillsdale improved to 2-0 on the season with a 72-59 win over Midwestern State University Saturday afternoon at the St. Edward's Tournament in Austin, Texas. news story image

Hillsdale, 2-0 overall, will play at Walsh University in Canton, Ohio Tuesday night.

Jones (pictured), along with junior guard Chelsea Harrison, were named to the All-Tournament Team at the St. Edwards University Shootout.

Hillsdale led throughout the game, and although Midwestern State closed to within one point late in the first half, the Chargers did an excellent job of maintaining control and the lead in the game's final 20 minutes. The Charger defense held MSU to 39 percent field goal shooting in the game, and forced 20 turnovers.

Harrison scored all 12 of her points on four 3-point baskets, connecting on 50 percent of her shots from beyond the arc. Senior Laura Barczak had a strong game in the post, with 16 points, six rebounds and four blocked shots. Her blocks total was the most by any Hillsdale player since Katie Cezat in 2009.

Junior Elizabeth Brannick had six points and three rebounds in 17 minutes off the bench.
