Jennifer Phillips is one of the most courageous Musketeers and best leaders in program history. Phillips is eighth all-time with 1,633 career points and fourth all-time with 742 career rebounds and is still the only Musketeer to be named Atlantic 10 Player of the Year, as Phillips earned the honor following the 2000-01 season.
Phillips' senior year marked the best season in Xavier women's basketball history and it's clear to all that watched the season unfold that she was the heart and soul of a talented veteran squad. Phillips led Xavier to the 2001 Atlantic 10 Championship and ended the season fifth in the country in field goal shooting percentage. Phillips then helped the Musketeers advance to the NCAA Tournament Elite Eight, which included the program's signature victory, an 80-65 win over No. 3 Tennessee in the 2001 NCAA Mideast Regional Semifinal en route to a 31-3 record.
