Sophomore guard Ashley Shields averaged 22.5 points, 15.0 rebounds
and 6.0 assists last week while leading the Southwest women’s basketball
team to victories over Arkansas Baptist and Hiwassee. The wins improved
the Lady Saluqis’ record to 10-1 on the season including 5-1 in the
Tennessee Junior and Community College Athletic Association.
On Wednesday night at the Verties Sails Gymnasium, Shields scored 26
points and grabbed 15 rebounds as the Lady Saluqis defeated Arkansas
Baptist 62-42. Southwest shot only 30.4 percent from the field and
committed 27 turnovers but limited Arkansas Baptist to only 21.7 percent
shooting and outrebounded them by a 68-43 margin.
 Southwest
defeated conference opponent Hiwassee on Saturday 74-62, also at the
Verties Sails Gym. Shields recorded her second triple-double of the
season with 19 points, 15 rebounds, and 10 assists, and also blocked a
season-high four shots. Also scoring in double figures was freshman
forward Starkitsha Luellen (pictured at left) with 13 points on 6
