I am assuming LSU single-season records?

Yep. LSU Single Season records. She also set the single game rebounding record earlier in the year.

Refresh my memory, who is Jackson?

Maree Jackson. Well before my time but her name is all over the LSU record book.

Following a 1976 tour of the United States with the New South Wales state basketball team, Jackson accepted a physical education scholarship to play basketball with Louisiana State University.[7][8] As a sophomore in 1978, Jackson scored 1,021 points (25.5 ppg) and grabbed 539 rebounds (13.5 rpg). The 1,021 points and 539 rebounds are the most in both Southeastern Conference (SEC) and LSU history for one season.[9] In just two seasons with the Lady Tigers, Jackson scored 1,852 points which places her third on the all-time scoring list. She also finished her career as the second leading rebounder in LSU history with 1,032 rebounds.[9] For her career, Jackson averaged 26.4 points a game, which still stands as the SEC record.[9]

Jackson and Julie Gross were the first Australian females to win All-American honours while playing college basketball in the United States

That 1978 team finished 37-3. Lost early in the tournament to... Sue Gunter.
