The hot stretch continued for Jarosz and the Red Foxes as the team went 3-0 on the week and Jarosz reached two personal milestones. On Monday, Jarosz scored her 1,000th career point, as the Red Foxes beat the Saint Peter's Peacocks 69-46 for their fifth straight Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference win in a row.
