Rutgers-Camden Athletics

Guard/forward Jalissa Pitts got her senior season off to a terrific start last week, averaging 27.5 points in a pair of games for the Rutgers-Camden women’s basketball team. She scored a team-high 19 points in the Scarlet Raptors’ season opener against Drew Nov. 9 and exploded for a career-high 36 points in a game at John Jay College Saturday. In that contest, she shot 12-for-24 from the field and 11-for-19 from the foul line. The 55 points lifted her over the 700-point milestone for her career, giving her 701 points in 51 games (13.7 ppg). She added 13 rebounds, six assists and one steal in the opening two games.
