Vienneau Reaches Milestone Trifecta in Rams Victory

BOSTON, Mass. - Suffolk University Women's Basketball senior Jacqueline Vienneau (Salem, N.H.) became the first player in program history to reach all three career milestones with 1,000 points, 500 rebounds and 300 assists on Tuesday evening.

Vienneau grabbed 11 rebounds in Suffolk's 65-39 victory over Johnson & Wales University bringing her career total to 500.

The senior guard scored her 1,000th career point earlier this season on December 6, while she reached the assist marker last season on February 18.

Vienneau becomes the fourth player in Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) history to also reach the triple milestone status. Vienneau joins Emmanuel's Iman Davis '10 and Brianne Bognanno '02 and Rivier University's Jess Mellen '10.

Through 100 career games, Vienneau has scored 1,164 career points which stands for fifth among all scorers in Suffolk University Women's Basketball history. She becomes the 13th player since the 1982-83 season at Suffolk to grab 500 career rebounds and she holds the all-time record in assists with 420. She set the assist mark on January 21 passing Amber Conte's '02 previous mark of 394.

Among the four GNAC players mentioned, Vienneau is just one of two, along with Davis to have at least 400 career assists.

Davis finished her career for the Saints with 1,732 points, 757 rebounds and 410 assists. Mellen scored 1,246 points while collecting 966 rebounds and 341 assists. Bognanno scored 1,239 points, grabbed 544 rebounds and collected 344 assists.

Thus far during the 2012-13 season, Vienneau has averaged 13.4 points per game in 21 contests. Her 5.0 assist per game average leads all players in the GNAC and stands for 24th among all NCAA Division-III Women's Basketball players in the nation. Her team-high 88.2-percent shooting from the free-throw line stands for second best this season among GNAC players, while she also maintains a team-best 38 total steals on the season. Vienneau is also averaging 6.0 rebounds per game on the year.

Vienneau ranks among several other all-time categories in Suffolk's prgram history. Her 150 three-point field goals made is the second best total in program history, while her 76.7-percent shooting from the free-throw line ranks at number four. She is currently tied for fourth with 180 steals and her 1.8 steals per game average stands at number five, her 418 field goals made are the sixth highest total, while her 11.6 points per game average in her career stands at number eight. Vienneau was tabbed as a second team All-Conference selection by the GNAC during the 2011-12 season as a junior.

No player on the Suffolk University Men's Basketball side has reached all three feats in their career.

Suffolk currently stands at a 16-5 overall mark through Tuesday's action, while they maintain an 8-1 record in league play.
