In addition to these high honors, the media and the coaches also named her to the All-Pac-12 team for the second year in a row and gave her Pac-12 All-Tournament honors. The coaches also gave her an honorable mention to their All-Defensive team.
Jeffery will leave her legacy behind as the only CU women’s basketball player in history to reach over 16,000 points, 900 rebounds and 400 assists.
