Graduate Spotlight '22: Jackie Luckhardt

Name: Jackie Luckhardt

Home: Londonderry, N.H.

Major: Leadership Studies

No college student wants their identity reduced to a number, but there is nothing cold or impersonal about the numbers that define Jackie Luckhardt's time at the University of Southern Maine.

She secured her place in the record book with a midrange jumper in a basketball game against Keene State on February 22. When that shot dropped through the net, Luckhardt became the 21st player in the history of the USM Women's Basketball program to score at least 1,000 career points.

Her status becomes even more exclusive by adding her career statistics together. Luckhardt is only the second player in program history to combine for 1,000 points, 500 rebounds, 300 assists, and 300 steals.

"Growing up, I was never the scorer, I was never the go-to player. I love my assists. I love to feed people the ball," Luckhardt said. "I just want to be able to impact the game and impact the people around me, but also to have those accomplishments is a great feeling."
