Junior Anna Hackert accomplished what only 12 other players have done before. She scored her 1,000th career point on Feb. 8.
“I’m a mathematics major so the only reason I knew that was because I’m a numbers person,” she said.
She said it’s never just been a personal goal for her, but a team and invidual goal.
“(Those points) mean the team is getting me the ball where it needs to be and I’m doing what I need to do to get it in the basket,” she said. “It shows all the hard work we put in. … My main goal is to win, if it helps us win then, yeah – it’s a goal.”
Women’s basketball Head Coach Rick Stein said it’s not an accomplishment that many players get to claim.
“That’s a big number and a major accomplishment, but Anna is all about the team, she wants to win. She traded a few points for a “w” last week,” Stein said.
