Freshman Kayla Jones has been selected as the Pioneer of the Week for the week of Sept. 12-18, 2011.

"The entire coaching staff has been extremely impressed with every quality that Kayla has brought to this team," said TWU head coach Lisa Bowerman.  "It is evident that she worked hard this summer, and that hard work has continued every single day since she has been here. Whether it is an optional open gym, or a required conditioning workout, Kayla has been there pushing herself and her teammates. She pays attention to detail in her workouts and is always willing to listen to her coaches and give a 100% effort to make any changes that are being asked of her. She is a great asset to this team, and we are looking forward to an outstanding freshman season for Kayla in 2012!”
