She closed the year with a career-best 44.5% from the field this season and is a career-high 76.4% from the free-throw line. Sherrod also dished out a career-high 13 assists against UT Arlington and had five or more assists in 16 games. She handed out a career-high 172 assists, notching her third season with 150-plus.
