leading eighth double-double of the season, which ranks second in the nation. Reed was 6-11 from the floor

also prevented the Rams from a single second-chance point, the only time all season for ASU. Smith followed

10 blocks in the three wins this week running the winning streak to 15-straight. Davis had four blocks Sunday
in a thrilling 76-52 win at Cameron as the Lady Buffs trailed at halftime. She went 10 of 23 from the field (.435)

two steals for the week.
Jordan Stevens, Midwestern State University, poured in a season-high 31 points to lead No. 6 Midwestern

buried 11 of his 18 shots including four 3-pointers while pulling down seven rebounds against the Greyhounds.
Stevens splashed in 21 points in the first half to help the Mustangs opening up a 16-point advantage. It was
his fifth game with at least 20 points this season as Stevens ranks third in the LSC in scoring at 16.7 points per
game.
Ladarius Stewart, Eastern New Mexico University, after missing practice and game time over the holiday
break due to weather delays, the red shirt freshman immediately made his presence felt against Cameron,
scoring 20 points on 8-11 shooting. More impressive perhaps is his 20 points came in only 20 minutes of
playing time. His second game back against No. 6 Midwestern saw Stewart go 6-12 from the floor and score 14
points against the Lone Star’s best.
Troy Jones, Texas A&M University - Kingsville, averaged 15.0 points in two LSC games last week, going 14-18

went 2-of-3 from the field with both his makes coming from beyond the 3-point line. He also handed out three
assists. Carson followed this quiet game against Kingsville with the loudest game of his career when the Lions
knocked off No. 4 Angelo State 93-88 on the road in San Angelo. Carson was exceptional scoring 10 points in
each half including delivering the dagger knocking down a triple from the wing to give the Lions an 84-80 lead
with 1:18 left to play. Carson tallied a career-high eight field goals made, four 3-point field goals made and his

limited the opposition to 32.3 percent shooting from the field while extending its winning streak to 10 games.
Everrett Pleasant, Texas A&M University - Commerce, delivered two huge games for the Lions in a 92-68 win
over Texas A&M-Kingsville and a 93-88 road win over No. 4 Angelo State in the Junell Center. Pleasant scored a
career-high 18 points in the Lions win over Kingsville and followed up with 16 points in the upset win over ASU.
He grabbed eight rebounds and six rebounds in each game respectively.
Shelton Boykin, Angelo State University, greatly assisted the ASU defense this week pulling down a team high
seven boards against Tarleton and a team second eight boards against Texas A&M – Commerce. The California

from the floor and led the Lions with 7 assists.
Erin Maxwell, Texas Woman’s University, led the
team with 10.0 rebounds per game and 4.0 blocks per
game while averaging 8.0 points in the two games last
week. Maxwell tied her career-high with 14 rebounds
and blocked four shots in a road win at Eastern New

A&M. With 40 seconds left in the game and the

her fourth block of the game on a jumper by ENMU’s
Mikaehla Conner and grabbed her 14th rebound
to seal the win for TWU. Maxwell also helped the

points under their season average) and 38.0 percent
shooting. With eight blocks last week she now has 56

She grabbed eight boards in the win against Angelo

league’s top-scoring offense entering Wednesday
night (Angelo) and the league’s top scorer (Taylor
Dorsey), who Tarleton held to just two points.
Johna McClelland, Eastern New Mexico
University, led a superlative defensive effort by the
Greyhounds last week, which limited the opposition
to an average of 67.3 points and a .358 shooting
percentage over three games. Her seven blocked
shots and 19 defensive rebounds limited offensive
opportunities for the three LSC opponents, while her
14 offensive boards increased ENMU’s possession
time. McClelland had four blocks and a pair of steals
against Cameron, in addition to 14 points. She also
rejected three shots against the Pioneers.
Amari Jones, Texas A&M University - Commerce,
continued to be a big presence on the court in the
1-1 LSC opening weekend. Jones, the LSC’s leading
rebounder, paced the Lions in rebounding, steals,
and blocks. Her best performance came against
Texas A&M-Kingsville where Jones recorded her third
