"In talking with Jen, we felt that, at this point in the semester, it is in her best interest to focus on class work and to limit the distractions and commitment that are required of a student-athlete," Rams coach Beth Cunningham said in a statement. "We will, of course, continue to support Jen in this process. It is our ultimate goal for her to receive a degree, which she is on track to complete. We appreciate the contributions she has made during her three and a half years at VCU and we wish her the best of luck."
A Wichita, Kan., native, Lane started the first 94 games of her college career, a streak that lasted until Senior Day in 2011. The 5-8 guard began the season having started 98 of her team's 99 games, and was on the floor at tipoff for the first six this season.
Lane. who saw time in only 18 of VCU's 28 games this season, did not participate in Sunday's Senior Day ceremonies. She finishes her career with 410 assists, sixth all time for the Rams.
She had a great career. Don't understand the reduced time on the court. They really missed her this year!
ReplyDeleteGood player but if the rumors I've heard are true then the limited playing time was probably a good move by the coaching staff.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about the rumors or why her playing time was limited but they really missed her on the court this season. Maybe they can get focused for a CAA Championship Run. Still a good team without her but in my opinion this team should have been better.
ReplyDeleteDid the team really miss her? That carter kid seemed to be more of an offensive threat than her.
ReplyDeleteIt didn't end great, but when it's all said and done we're talking about a young woman who started more than 100 games, played in the NCAA Tournament and appears to be on track to graduate in four years. Both sides got a lot out of the deal.
ReplyDeleteCarter certainly has a bright future. She doesn't hesitate to shoot and that's great but she had to grow fast for a freshmen and played a lot of minutes. That is what I think was missed (Jennifer's experience). Jennifer was at the last home game so I think it ended a good terms. Good luck to her and the VCU in the post season.
