Khristaijah Jackson, November Athlete of the Month

Herkimer Generals women’s basketball player Khristaijah Jackson was named Green & Gold Female Athlete of the Month for November. Jackson, a Business: Sports & Recreation Management major at Herkimer College, averaged 20.8 points and 13.8 rebounds per game which helped her team go 5-1 at home in the opening month of the regular season.

Jackson - a resident of Philadelphia, PA – has posted some tremendous offensive numbers in her first eight games played as a freshman. The center has scored 20 or more points in four of the games she played in, amassing a season-high 39 against Tompkins-Cortland at home which was six points shy of the NJCAA DIII record. That’s not it though, as Jackson has also made a living on the glass, collecting double digit rebound totals in six of her eight games, allowing her to capture a double double in every one of those contests. Her season-high 21 rebounds against the Spartans in the season opener helped the Generals start the season on a three-game win streak, all under the guidance of new Head Coach P.J. Anadio.

“I'm extremely excited for Khristaijah on her selection to the Green and Gold Club,” said Head Women’s Basketball Coach P.J. Anadio. “It's obvious that she is an exceptional athlete and basketball player, but more importantly she is a wonderful student and person. She is a great representative of this program, a true ambassador of our college and is the epitome of what we envision a student-athlete to be here at Herkimer College!”
