GEORGE MASON ATHLETE OF THE WEEK


Jenn Gross


November 10, 1997

What a career.

And if 25th-ranked George Mason (13-5-4) is extended an at-large bid to this week's NCAA Tournament, senior forward Jenn Gross will have even more minutes to increase her school career records at George Mason.

In the past two weeks, the Centreville High School graduate broke every career scoring record in Mason history. She started by breaking three-time All-American Lisa Gmitter's standards for goals and points. She now has 70 goals and 161 points, to go along with her seven career hat tricks. Against UNC Wilmington in the opening game of the Kellogg's-Colonial Athletic Association Championship, she broke Gmitter's 11-year-old standard of 19 game winners as she notched here 20th in a 5-1 win over UNC Wilmington.

That game also saw her set a CAA Tournament single-game record with three assists in one match, and on Saturday in Mason's 7-0 semifinal win over Old Dominion, she broke the CAA Tournament career assist mark with a total of six in two years.

All told for the week, Gross drove home three goals and dished off four assists to lead the Patriots to two-out-of-three wins and a CAA Championship runner-up finish to William & Mary. She also closed her four-year career as the George Mason leader in all scoring departments and moved herself into the No. 4 slot in assists.
