It’s no surprise to anyone the DePaul women’s basketball team is run through the big three of seniors Megan Podkowa and Chanise Jenkins, along with junior Jessica January. Last week, the trio was recognized nationally for some prestigious end of the season awards.
“I think it’s a statement about…(how good they) are for us, they’re just great players for this program,” head coach Doug Bruno said. “I’m excited for all of their awards, but at the same time, you play the game for achievements. Awards and celebrities are the byproducts.”
Podkowa and January were named to the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-District Five, which makes them both eligible for Academic All-America Honors.
