INGRAM IGNITES FOR 30 –
 
Graduate student J'Mani Ingram established a new career high vs. Arkansas State as she scored 30 points on a personal-best 12-for-18 shooting from the field. Ingram is the first Warhawk to score 30 this season, the last occurring in 2025 by Jakayla Johnson. Ingram's point total against the Red Wolves is the most by a Warhawk player in a game this season and is a part of an ongoing double-digit scoring streak of nine games.
 
SHAVERS SHINES TO START NEW YEAR –
 
Graduate student Marcavia Shavers became the first Warhawk player this season to record a double-double when she did so on New Years Day vs. South Alabama. Shavers scored a career-high 17 points behind a career-best eight baskets while also pulling down 17 rebounds. Shavers followed that performance with her third career double-double and her eighth career game of double-digit rebounds as she scored 12 points while recording a career-high 21 rebounds vs. Arkansas State. The 21 rebounds are the most tallied by a Sun Belt player this season. Shavers is now up to four double-doubles on the season after posting 10 points and 10 rebounds on Wednesday vs. Troy.
 
OUTSTANDING ON THE OFFENSIVE GLASS –
 
The Warhawks completed their game at Indiana with a 19-1 advantage in offensive rebounds. It was ULM's second-best output on the offensive glass of the season-behind their 23 offensive rebounds at Sam Houston. The last time the Warhawks held an opponent to one offensive rebound was against UT Arlington in 2021. ULM are fifth in the Sun Belt and are ranked 45th in the nation in offensive rebounding, averaging 14.5 offensive rebounds per game.
 
FREQUENTLY FORCING TURNOVERS –
 
ULM continued their proficient season of forcing mistakes out of their opponents last Saturday as they forced a season high 29 turnovers against South Alabama. The Warhawks are ranked inside the top-45 in all of Division I with 20.9 turnovers forced per game. ULM have seen three different players establish new career highs for steals in a game this year. Graduate student Keshunti Nichols recorded four steals vs. Louisiana Tech, junior Kamille Brown posted five steals vs. Grambling State and graduate student Asia Barclay notched five steals at Alabama. As a team, the Warhawks are inside the top-45 teams in Division I averaging 10.9 steals per game having recorded a season high of 20 also against the Jaguars.
 
JACKSON FROM THREE –
 
Redshirt junior Jazmine Jackson has established herself as a major threat from beyond the arc for the Warhawks. Jackson recorded her third game of the season with five three-pointers at Texas State as she finished the game with a team-leading 17 points. The Jacksonville, Fla. native also accomplished the feat in the win against Lamar when she scored a career-high 25 points including hitting five-of-six attempts from beyond the arc. Jackson became the first ULM player this season to break the 20-point mark.
 
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. After her 18-point performance vs. Troy, J'Mani Ingram is now 62 points away from reaching 1,000 for her career.
