The latest selection for Carter marks the third of her career after being named to the Second Team in 2020 and 2023. She has maintained a double-double average with career-best marks with 14.8 points and 10.2 rebounds. The only Bulldog to start all 31 games, Jordan established herself as one of the top guards in the conference with a team-high 16.2 points and 2.2 steals, in addition to career-best marks in rebounds, assists and minutes with 6.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists in 30.8 minutes per game.

🔼 Comeback In Pearl. After giving up four runs in the first inning, the Diamond Dawgs scored five unanswered runs to come out with a 5-4 win over Southern Miss for the team’s sixth victory in a row.
