Jessica Riepe, Marlboro
The Shore’s leading 3-point shooter, the 5-11 junior forward (68 threes) has been a constant spark from behind the arc for the Mustangs (16-3).

On Monday, she added four more treys to her collection and had 14 points as Marlboro upended Freehold Twp., 63-48.

On Friday, the 6-2 sophomore guard sank six threes and totaled 20 points in a victory over Raritan, counted four more triples s among her 17 points on Friday to key a win over Monmouth and was more attack-minded Saturday, netting 12 of her 21 points inside the arc as RBC (17-3) stormed past Marlboro, 73-36.
