Inscription.
After a two-year stint at Meridian Community College, Jacklyn Winfield transferred to Southern University in 2000 and became an overnight sensation. During her two-year career, the silky-smooth guard led Southern to the 2001 SWAC regular season and tournament title, earning the Jaguars a bid to the NCAA Tournament. During the 2001 SWAC Tournament, Winfield nailed a late-game three-point shot in the semifinals against Jackson State to send the game into overtime before edging the Tigers 65-63. Winfield scored 1,239 points and averaged 21.5 points per game before punctuating her illustrious career as the first female HBCU player drafted to the WNBA by the Utah Stars in 2002. With Winfield orchestrating the Jaguar offense, Southern finished with a two-year record of 45-15. Winfield was named to the All-SWAC First Team and was named the SWAC Player of the Year in 2002.
