New York, N.Y. -- Creighton women's basketball senior Jaylyn Agnew earned AP All-American Honorable Mention recognition on Thursday, March 19.
Including Agnew, 35 players were honored today by the AP. One other BIG EAST player, DePaul's Chante Stonewall, was also part of the Honorable Mention list.
In her final home game on Sunday, March 1, Agnew set the Creighton record for points in a single-game at 43 against Georgetown, snapping Connie Yori's program record (42) which had been on the books since 1982. Her total also matched Louisville's Angel McCoughtry BIG EAST single-game scoring record with 43 points.
In addition, Agnew broke the BIG EAST single-season record for free-throw percentage, going 43-of-43 (1.000) from the charity stripe over 14 league contests. She closed the season with 52 consecutive free throws, another Creighton record, claiming the NCAA's statistical champion in free throw percentage by connecting on 76-of-80 free throws (95.0%).
A six-time BIG EAST Player of the Week in 2019-20, Agnew averaged 20.8 points per game (543 points overall) with 13 contests of at least 20-point games to her credit, including four 30-point showings – most in the BIG EAST since 2014-15.
Despite missing four games during the season due to injury, Agnew led Creighton in scoring in 17 contests. Creighton won 15 of those games. She closed the season leading the team in points (543), scoring average (20.8), rebounds (165), rebounds per game (6.5), assists (85) and blocks (29).
Agnew was one of two unanimous All-BIG EAST First Team selections along with DePaul's Stonewall. Agnew becomes the second Bluejay to earn All-American honors, joining Marissa Janning (2013-14). The duo also each collected the BIG EAST Player of the Year, Agnew doing so this season, while Janning earned the honor in 2013-14.
