As a freshman, she has become the team’s second-leading scorer and has helped the Panthers tremendously throughout the season. Jersey currently sits at 12-7 on the season. Meredith has played in all 19 of those games and has amassed 203 points so far, good for a 10.7 point-per-game average. She’s also pulled down 89 rebounds, also second on the team.
