From Hall of Honor press release dated July 6, 2009:

Sarah Jurewicz was the first junior in Wittenberg women's basketball history to reach the 1,000-point plateau, and her career point total remains the best in school history. In her career, Jurewicz picked up first-team All-North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC) honors three times in her career (among four All-NCAC awards overall), NCAC Newcomer of the Year honors in 1995, three team MVP awards and three NCAC All-Tournament awards. Also a two-year letterwinner in track and field and an All-NCAC honoree in the discus in 1996, Jurewicz still ranks ninth in career assists, seventh in career steals and second in career rebounds at Wittenberg after leading the Tigers to records of 85-24 overall and 59-5 in the NCAC regular season as a player. The university's NCAC female scholar-athlete award-winner in 1998 and a member of the NCAC's Women's Basketball 20th Anniversary Team, Jurewicz returned to her alma mater to coach the women's basketball team in 2007 following the passing of her coach and mentor, Pam Evans Smith. Jurewicz has led the Tigers to a 29-23 record and the 2008 NCAC Tournament title game in two years at the helm. A native of Shakopee, Minn., Jurewicz graduated from Wittenberg in 1998 with a degree in art, she is currently residing in Minnesota.
