Looking Back At Jacksonville
Kyana Jacobs earned her first career double-double, but Upstate fell victim to a string of three-pointers in the second half and took an 87-75 loss at Jacksonville Monday night. The loss was the third-straight for the Spartans, all of which have come in the A-Sun. Jacobs finished the game with 12 points and 10 assists to lead Upstate. The 10 assists ties teammate Tee'Ara Copney for the top effort this season and ties an Upstate Division I era record. Upstate and Jacksonville traded the lead off and on in the first half until the teams went into the intermission ties at 38 apiece. With the teams jockeying for position in the second half, Jacksonville nailed three three-pointers in a two-minute span to build a nine-point lead and didn't look back. Upstate got within four points, but couldn't close the gap further. Copney led all scorers with 24 points on the night. Chelsea McMillan had her string of six-straight double-doubles snapped, but finished with 14 points and eight rebounds.

McMillan Tops A-Sun in Scoring and Rebounds
Upstate senior post player Chelsea McMillan received high praise by the A-Sun coaches when she was named the league's preseason player of the year. She is certainly living up to the hype by leading the conference in both scoring (17.4 ppg) and rebounding (11.4 rpg). She ranks second with 1.9 blocks per game. As a junior, she finished the 2009-10 season ranked fifth in scoring at 14.2 points per game and second in rebounding at 10.8 rebounds per outing en route to earning A-Sun First Team All-Conference honors.

Upstate Among A-Sun's Statistical Leaders
WIth Chelsea McMillan topping the A-Sun in scoring (17.4 ppg) and rebounding (11.4 rpg), the Spartans are well represented on the conference's statistical ranking lists. Upstate players rank eight times in the top five in several statistical categories. As a team, Upstate leads the A-Sun with 10.5 steals per game and is second in scoring (71.7 ppg).

McMillan a Double-Double Machine
Chelsea McMillan holds Upstate's record for the most double-doubles in Upstate's Division I history. She has posted double dips 30 times in her three years in the program.

She now has eight double dips this season and had her string of six-straight double-doubles snapped at Jacksonville (Jan. 17).

Scary Moment for Webb
Freshman Madisen Webb experienced a scary moment at North Florida (Jan. 15) when she fell hard to the floor while defending the post. She hit her head, resulting in a loss of consciousness and feeling in her arms. She came to and regained feeling, but was taken off the court on a stretcher and transported to a hospital. She was released later that night after being diagnosed with a concussion. She is out for tonight's game.
