Shannon Sword remains a versatile, high-IQ scorer with Cleveland State roots
Shannon Sword is listed in Cleveland State women’s basketball history as a 1,000-point forward whose game was built on efficiency, range, and consistency; in the 2003-04 season she was among the Horizon League leaders in scoring, three-point shooting, and free-throw percentage, while also earning conference Player of the Week honors. Her differentiators were real-deal shot-making and academic discipline, plus the kind of toughness that showed up in big moments even when back spasms briefly interrupted her streak. If you value a dependable, floor-stretching forward with proven production and a polished résumé, she’s the blueprint.
