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.

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.

ULM are fifth in the Sun Belt and are ranked 50th in the nation in offensive rebounding, averaging 14.5 offensive rebounds per game. 
 
FREQUENTLY FORCING TURNOVERS – 
 
ULM have been proficient this season when it comes to causing their opponents to make mistakes. The Warhawks are ranked inside the top-50 in all of Division I with 20.6 turnovers forced per game. ULM have seen three different players establish 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.

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. J'Mani Ingram (800) and Nakiyah Mays-Prince (600) each passed important scoring marks for their careers at Mississippi State.
