Throughout her career Jensen moved past the 2,000-point threshold both at Creighton (2,059 points) and in her career (2,083 points) during March. She closed her career third all-time for the Bluejays in scoring, fifth in scoring average (15.96), third in made field goals (777), second in free-throw percentage (86.4%) and ninth in assists (390).
Lauren earned her third consecutive All-BIG EAST First Team selection as well as BIG EAST All-Tournament Team recognition as she helped guide Creighton to the BIG EAST Finals last season.
