On a dreary Sunday, story from the AAS

[BabHorn]

Good to see our WBB seniors being recognized locally. This story came out in Friday's edition. Can't wait for what should be a totally exciting season to unfold.

Ariel Atkins, women’s basketball

Aston has acquired so many McDonald’s All-Americans on the roster, it’s hard to keep up. The Horns’ scoring potential and overall athleticism is impressive. Brooke McCarty, the reigning Big 12 women’s basketball player of the year, is the team’s emotional heart and soul. But Aston is a fire-breathing defensive coach, and that’s what makes Atkins so appealing, not to mention vital.

The 5-11 senior guard from Duncanville averaged 35.5 steals as a freshman and sophomore. She had 64 steals last season and landed on the Big 12’s all-defensive team. She also boosted her scoring to 12.8 points per game and shot a career-high 37.7 percent from 3-point range.

The women’s team took a huge mental step by knocking off Baylor in Waco last season. Now comes the next step: Getting to the Final Four....
THE NEXT 15
Brooke McCarty, women’s basketball, senior

Reigning Big 12 player of the year, is one of the most exciting athletes on campus.
