Jahzinga Tracey Named First Team All-PSAC West; Staci Heberling Chosen to Second Team

Complete All-PSAC Teams

IUP juniors Jahzinga Tracey and Staci Heberling have been named to the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Western Division all-star team for the 2007-08 season.  Tracey was chosen to the first team while Heberling was a second team choice by the PSAC West head coaches.

Tracey is on the all-conference team for the third time in as many seasons and on the first team for the second straight year.  She was the PSAC West Player of the Year last season but Shippensburg’s Lauren Beckley won that award this time around.  Heberling was also on the second team last year.

Tracey (Des Moines, Iowa/Hoover) was also named to the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association and Daktronics All-East Region team and is a candidate for All-America honors by those two organizations.

Tracey leads IUP in scoring (19.0), rebounding (9.0), steals (3.39), blocked shots (1.00) and field goal percentage (52.6 on 254 of 483 shooting).  She ranks third in the PSAC in scoring, rebounding and steals and sixth in field goal percentage entering this weekend’s NCAA East Region tournament which will be held at Memorial Field House.

In addition to her conference rankings, Tracey is 12th in the nation in steals, 26th in scoring, 42nd in field goal percentage and 53rd in rebounding.  Her 105 steals in a new IUP single season record as are her 254 made field goals.  She has scored 590 points on the year, 22 shy of her own school mark set a year ago.

Tracey ranks second in school history in scoring with 1,475 points, 247 behind Cathy Torchia’s record of 1,722.  Tracey is also second in field goals made (623), third in steals (277) and scoring average (16.0), fourth in field goals attempted (1,245), fifth in rebounding average (8.4), seventh in rebounds (777) and ninth in field goal percentage (50.0) and 3-point field goal percentage (32.3 on 42 of 130 shooting). 

Heberling (Punxsutawney/Punxsutawney) was named the MVP of the PSAC tournament last weekend as IUP captured its second straight conference championship.  In the three tournament games, she scored 44 points on 16 of 21 shooting from the field and 12 of 14 from the line, grabbed 19 rebounds and added 10 assists, eight steals and four blocked shots.

For the season, Heberling averaged 10.3 points per game, good for third on the team and 30th in the PSAC.  She was also second on the Crimson Hawks and 18th in the conference in rebounding (6.5), shot 51.0 percent from the field (125 of 245) to place eighth in the conference and was ninth in the league in free throw percentage at 78.6, making 66 of 84.

Heberling ranks 13th in school history in field goal percentage at 48.9 percent (348 of 711), 12th in free throw percentage at 69.4 percent (152 of 219), 15th in rebounds (516), tied for 15th in steals (137) and 16th in blocked shots (54).
