This season, Schwab averaged 9.4 points, 2.2 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game, helping the Cavaliers to a fifth-place finish in the NJCAA D-II National Tournament and a school record 28 victories.
However, Schwab’s forte is her deadly long range shot. The sophomore from Wellsville, Kan., set the single game, season and career records for three-point baskets made. She made 102 three-pointers this season, breaking the old record of 88 held by Boan. Schwab is one of only seven players in Kansas Jayhawk Conference history to hit over 100 three-point baskets in a season. She hit 167 in her two seasons at JCCC, breaking the previous career mark by 45.
Schwab established the single-game mark of nine three-point baskets earlier this year in an 82-81 victory over Jones County in the final game of the Hoop ‘N Surf Classic in Honolulu. Schwab finished with a career high 29 points in that win, and was named to the All-Tournament team. She also garnered the NJCAA Division II National Player of the Week following her efforts in Hawaii.
Schwab also ranks among the program’s most accurate three-point shooters. She made just over 40 percent (167-of-412, .405) in her career, which ranks her third all-time. She it .43 percent from long range as a freshman, the second-best season mark all-time at JCCC.
