Waterford-Halfmoon junior guard Jackie Sorensen is 13 points away from breaking the 1,000 point mark for her career. The Lady Fordians host former Central Hudson Valley League rival Albany Academy for Girls in a non-league contest Tuesday night at 6:30 p.m.

A member of The Record's 2008-09 Preseason All-Area Dream Team, Sorensen was also a member of The Record's 2007-08 All-City second team after averaging 15.7 points per game as a sophomore.

This year, she's averaging 17.1 points per game and has the Lady Fordians in the hunt in the middle of the CHVL.

"She's a very good ballplayer that plays both ends of the court and can really shoot," Waterford-Halfmoon head coach Jack DuBois said in a preseason interview.
In fact, Sorensen's scoring average was 10th best among all players in Section II last season.
"She's been playing on the varsity since eighth grade and as a junior this year, she's been named a captain," said DuBois.
Sorensen has her sights set on playing collegiately, but she still has two more seasons at Waterford to prove herself to college coaches before she has to make a decision.
