Stephanie Jass is on a roll.

The Milan resident, a history professor at Adrian College, was the champion on the syndicated TV game show "Jeopardy!" Wednesday for the third straight time.

Jass cruised ahead of her two challengers for most of the match, ending the "Double Jeopardy" round with winnings of $22,200, compared to $6,000 for her closest competitor.

Jass missed the "Final Jeopardy" question, but had only wagered $3,000, so she won $19,200 for the night. That brings her total winnings to $66,770.

Jass continues her run on tonight's episode. "Jeopardy!" airs at 7:30 p.m. on WDIV, chanel 4 in Detroit.
