Senior Shelby Brown has been named the Lee University Female Athlete of the Week after she reached 1,000 career- points in a 68-52 win over Mississippi College last Saturday.
Brown became the 26th Lady Flame to reach 1,000 career points with her eighth point of the game, a layup with 7:39 left in the third period. The senior would tack on eight more to finish the game with 16 points. Brown also had five rebounds and an assist in the win.
"It was a goal of mine," admitted Brown. "It feels good to achieve it, but I wouldn't be here without my teammates. We were able to get a lot of open looks on the outside. Carrie set a lot of good screens on our post play to get me open, so it was a team effort for sure."
Brown and the Lady Flames have now won seven straight contests and are 16-3 overall and 9-2 in the GSC as they embark on a difficult four-game road trip beginning on Thursday at Christian Brothers.
