University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown Athletics

As a Lady Cat
For the second straight season, Zapf, a 2006-07 Preseason Women’s Division II Bulletin Honorable Mention All-American, proved to be a dominating force for the Lady Cats in the paint by leading the team in rebounding at 8.7 rebounds per game. She was also Pitt Johnstown’s second leading scorer at 14.4 points per game on her way to being a Second Team All-Independent Collegiate Athletic Association Division II Women’s Basketball Team selection.
Along with her success on the court, Jessica, a 2006-07 team captain, continued to excel in the classroom. Her hard work paid off when she was named Third Team ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District II with a 3.85 overall G.P.A. in Elementary Education.
She finished her junior season ranked 60th in NCAA Division II in Free-Throw Percentage at 82.1% (142-173) and 64th in rebounding at 8.7 rebounds per game.
Jessica’s 82.1% shooting from the free-throw line and 54.2% (123-227) from the field were second only to Samantha Conner’s 82.6% free-throw percentage and 56.3% field goal percentage. She also finished fourth on the team in steals (40) and fifth in assists (36).
Jessica’s 610 career rebounds currently rank 15th on the Lady Cat All-Time Rebounding List. In addition, Jessica will enter her senior season with 806 career points, just 194 points away from becoming Pitt Johnstown’s 29th 1,000-point scorer.
Seven times during the 2005-06 season Jessica led the Lady Cats in scoring, while she led or tied for the team lead in rebounding 18 times. She collected 10 double-doubles in scoring and rebounding and scored in double-figures in 24 of the 27 Pitt Johnstown games. Four times Jessica eclipsed the 20-point mark in a game and 10 times she scored 15 or more points.
