LEADING THE WAY –
 
ULM feature a balanced scoring attack as five different players average at least 8.4 points per game. J'Mani Ingram leads the team averaging 9.8 points per game followed by Asjah Inniss (9.6) and Keshunti Nichols (9.8). Marcavia Shavers averages 5.8 rebounds per game to lead the team while Nakiyah Mays-Prince has posted a team best average of 4.8 assists per game. Thanks in large part to her career-high five steal performance vs. Grambling State, Kamille Brown leads the team in steals with 11 while Nichols and Abby Leahy are tied for the team lead in blocks with two.
 
BENCH BOOST –
 
The Warhawk reserves have been the offensive catalysts for the team this season. ULM are ranked 42nd in the nation and first in the Sun Belt averaging 30.8 bench points per game. ULM's bench was responsible for 40 of the team's 80 points vs. Eastern Michigan, the most points scored in a game by the reserves since they scored 47 during the 117-60 season opening win vs. Central Baptist. The Warhawk bench has outscored the opposing team's bench in every game this season.
 
RELENTLESS REBOUNDING –
 
Graduate student Marcavia Shavers continued her excellent career on the glass Thursday vs. Sam Houston. The Biloxi, Miss. native pulled down a season high 12 rebounds including four on the offensive glass. It was the fifth double-digit rebounding total for Shavers in her career which includes a high of 20 at St. Bonaventure during her time with Saint Louis.
 
JACKSON'S SWEET SIXTEEN –
 
Redshirt junior Jazmine Jackson put on a show in the win vs. Arkansas-Pine Bluff. The Jacksonville, Fla. native scored a career-high 16 points including knocking down a career-best four three-pointers. Jackson also put in work on the glass as she finished with eight rebounds which was one shy of tying her career high. The 16 points also moved Jackson into a three-way tie for best single-game total by a Warhawk this season with J'Mani Ingram and Kamille Brown.
 
FLETCHER'S FAST START –
 
Head coach Scotty Fletcher became the second coach in program history to win their first four games in charge of ULM on Sunday vs. Arkansas-Pine Bluff. Fletcher joins Linda Harper who was the first to accomplish the feat at the beginning of the 1978-79 season. Fletcher is also one of four coaches to have won their first game leading ULM and their first game inside Fant-Ewing Coliseum. The last time the Warhawks started a season 4-0 was the historic 1984-85 season that concluded with a berth to the Final Four of the NCAA tournament.
 
MEMORABLE MILESTONES –
 
Graduate student Asjah Inniss achieved a pair of impressive career benchmarks vs. Grambling State. On a three-point shot late in the second quarter, Inniss would record her 500th career point in what was her 100th career game. Inniss became the fourth player on the Warhawks to reach 500 career points. Katelyn Chomko also reached a career milestone in style as her final three-pointer vs. Arkansas-Pine Bluff brought her to an even 100 points for her career. Keshunti Nichols became the latest to reach 500 career points as she did so Thursday vs. Sam Houston State. Nakiyah Mays-Prince (596) and J'Mani Ingram (784) are next in line to reach new scoring marks for their careers.
 
FREQUENTLY FORCING TURNOVERS –
 
ULM have been prolific this season when it comes to causing their opponents to make mistakes. The Warhawks are forcing opposing teams to turn the ball over 22 times per game including a season high 26 forced turnovers their last two games. ULM have seen two different players establish career highs for steals in a game this year. Graduate student Keshunti Nichols recorded four steals in the win vs. Louisiana Tech before junior Kamille Brown posted a career high of five steals vs. Grambling State. As a team, the Warhawks are averaging 10.8 steals per game and have seen four players record at least one game of three steals or more so far.
 
WARHAWKS AT A GLANCE –
 
ULM welcome 14 newcomers to the bayou for the 2025-26 season under first year head coach Scotty Fletcher. The roster features eight guards, four forwards, and two centers. The Warhawks join Indiana State as the only DI programs with zero returners this season.
 
The Warhawks will look to lean on past experience this year as every member of the roster enters this season as an upperclassman. The team is comprised of four juniors, two seniors, and eight graduate students. ULM are among a select few of DI programs that are 100% made up of upperclassmen and are one of six programs with no true freshmen on their roster. Familiarity is also a key theme of this roster, as five players at one point or time played for Coach Fletcher at Pear River Community College.
 
ALL OVER THE MAP –
 
In addition to making up an entirely new roster, ULM's 14 players also represent a multitude of different states and places of origin. The Warhawks claim players from 11 different states, including a team high three players from the neighboring state of Mississippi. Graduate forward Nailea Nicholas grew up in Fresno, Calif., which would be the 12th different state represented, but is originally from the U.S. Virgin Islands. ULM are tied with Brown University for the most states represented on their roster.
 
EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE –
 
ULM will have the luxury of calling on the services of several players with substantial Division I experience. Of the 11 players on the roster who have played at the DI level, eight of them have featured in 50 or more games over the course of their career. J'Mani Ingram leads the group having played in 107 career games at the DI level entering this season, followed by Asjah Inniss at 97 and Nakiyah Mays-Prince at 89.
 
SUN BELT SAVANTS –
 
Three members of this year's ULM roster are already familiar with the trials and tribulations of Sun Belt Conference play.J'Mani Ingram and Asjah Inniss both played for Appalachian State last year and helped lead the Mountaineers to the sixth seed in the conference tournament. Nakiyah Mays-Prince heavily featured for Georgia Southern as she led the team in assists (82) and steals (56) while averaging 7.4 points per game.
 
UP NEXT –
 
The Warhawks hit the road for a six-game stretch to close out 2025, first traveling to Clemson on Tuesday (Nov. 25). Tipoff against the Tigers is scheduled for 6 p.m. CT.
