MASON CITY - For the second time in her career, NIACC's Jackie Pippett was selected as the ICCAC women's basketball player of the week.

Pippett, a sophomore post from Ankeny, earned the league's weekly honor for the week of Dec. 5-11. She also won the award for the week of Jan. 3-9, 2022 during her freshman season.

Pippett shared the league's player of the week honor with Kirkwood's Jada Devine.

During the week of Dec. 5-11, Pippett led the Trojans (8-3 overall, 2-0 in the ICCAC) to wins over the Luther College Junior Varsity and Ellsworth.

Against Ellsworth, Pippett scored a season-high 26 points with a season-high 11 rebounds with a career-best five assists. Against the Luther College JV, Pippett scored eight points with three rebounds.

Pippett averages 12.0 points and 5.7 rebounds for the Trojans, who host Iowa Central on Wednesday in an ICCAC contest.

Pippett is the first NIACC women's player to win the league's weekly award since Audrey Martinez-Stewart was honored for the week of Jan. 31-Feb. 6, 2022.
