The junior center recorded her second career double-double in the season opener against Jacksonville.
TAMPA (Nov. 30, 2020) – The University of South Florida women’s basketball standout Beatriz Jordao has been named to the American Athletic Conference Honor Roll for the week ending Nov. 29, the conference announced Monday.
A 6-foot-3 center from Pombal, Portugal, Jordao netted 12 points and a career high 14 rebounds in the Bulls’ 84-46 season-opening win against Jacksonville on Nov. 28. In addition to a career high-tying four blocked shots, Jordao also was nearly perfect from the field against the Dolphins, shooting 6-of-7 from the floor (85.7 percent).
Her double-double was the second of her career, and the first since she dropped a career-best 17 points and 10 rebounds in her collegiate debut at Ohio State on Nov. 16, 2018.
USF returns to action on Tuesday for the first of back-to-back home games against top-10 opponents, as 2019 defending national champion and No. 4/4 ranked Baylor visits the Yuengling Center for a marquee matchup. The Bulls then host No. 6/7 Mississippi State on Saturday, Dec. 5. Tip-off for both games is scheduled for 7 p.m.
