Samford names assistant

The Samford women’s basketball program has hired former player Jazmine Powers as an assistant coach. Powers played for the Bulldogs, serving as a point guard for the last four seasons. She finished her playing career ranking seventh in school history in games played (122) and ninth in assists (187).

Powers was a key member of two teams that earned Southern Conference Tournament titles, and earned NCAA Tournament bids. Overall, she helped the Bulldogs to the program’s first three national postseason tournament bids, as the Bulldogs earned a bid to the WNIT following her sophomore season in 2010.

In addition to her accomplishments on the court, Powers performed well in the classroom as well. She was named to the SoCon’s Academic Honor Roll in each of the last three years, and she was a three-time member of the school’s Dean’s List as well.
