AUM’s Jones receives Army honor

Auburn University at Montgomery women’s basketball player Nicole Jones has received the AUM Army Athletic Achievement Award.

Jones is a sophomore majoring in Business Management and Marketing.  She has been a solid performer both on and off the courts this season.  She has worked with Angels for the Elderly, Make a Difference Day at the Children’s Center and has worked YMCA basketball camps.  She has also traveled to the Milano Center on Martin Luther King day and read to the children there.

“Nicole had done an extraordinary job for us this season,” head coach Dan Davis said.  “She is continuously focused in practice and games, and works extremely hard on a daily basis.  She has gone from getting minimal minutes to being one of our more consistent players in the starting line-up.  She is our best defensive player in the guard position and has done a great job in shutting down the opponents leading guard.”
