Allison Jaskowiak is the guard/forward for the University of South Carolina Women’s Basketball team. She was recently been awarded fifth year of eligibility by the NCAA so she can play again and return to the court of USC for a final season in 2007-08. Allison is considered to be a valuable player as a defensive stopper for the Trojan roster and also a good leader on and off the court.

When she started playing in season 2003-04 as a freshman, she had very limited time averaging only two minutes per game. She only made three appearance in her freshman year playing against San Diego (Dec. 13), Washington State (Feb. 5) and California (Feb. 21). Jaskowiak’s sophomore year was a great opportunity to prove her skills as she was given more playing time under new head coach Mark Trakh. She now continues to play for the final season while pursuing her graduate degree at the University of South Carolina.
