COLUMBIA, Mo. – Former Mizzou Women’s Basketball player Jordan Frericks (Quincy, Ill.) signed a professional contract with Herner Turn Club in Germany, the club announced Sunday. Frericks played a key role in Mizzou’s 2016 and 2018 NCAA Tournament teams, averaging double-digit scoring figures and leading the team in rebounding both seasons.
Frericks, who graduated from Mizzou in May, earned Second Team All-SEC nods twice (2015-16, 2017-18) while playing in the Black & Gold. After missing the entire 2016-17 season due to a knee injury, Frericks returned for her senior campaign in 2017-18, where she was Mizzou’s second-leading scorer with 18.5 ppg and led the team in rebounding with 7.6 rpg. In 2015-16, Frericks earned Second Team All-SEC honors for the first time after scoring 12.1 ppg and leading the team in rebounding with 7.7 rpg. During her sophomore campaign (2014-15), Frericks led Mizzou in points per game (13.2 ppg), total rebounds (327), rebounds per game (9.9 rpg) and blocked shots (46). Her marks of 327 rebounds, 9.9 rpg and 46 blocked shots rank third, fifth and ninth, respectively, on the individual season records list.
“So many people have helped me, supported me, challenged me, coached me and encouraged me along the way,” Frericks said. “It’s pretty cool to look back and see where this journey started and where I am now and all the people that have impacted my life through basketball. I’m so grateful for this experience and so happy I never put a limit to where I wanted to go. There is a lot I can say about what Mizzou and the Mizzou Women’s Basketball program has done for me. I owe a lot to Coach P, the coaching staff, and my teammates. Coach P and her program encouraged and pushed me to grow in my confidence not only as a player, but a person as well. I was challenged to be my personal best in all areas on and off the court. I’m very thankful for everything Mizzou has done to help equip me for this next step as member of the Herner Turn Club.”
Frericks closed her career as one of 35 Mizzou players to score 1,000 points, finishing 11th all-time at 1,433 points. Among program records, she ranks second in rebounds (1,032), fourth in rebounding average (8.1), fifth in blocked shots (132), seventh in field goal percentage (.510) and ninth in free throws made (327).
