MAC Player of the Week with Elite Two-Way Impact at Kent State
Katie Shumate, a versatile 2/3 guard for Kent State, delivered a dominant 2023-24 season capped by MAC Women's Basketball Player of the Week honors after averaging 19.5 points, 11.0 rebounds, and 3.0 steals in a crucial two-game stretch [2]. Her differentiator is rare all-around production: she matched career highs of 13 rebounds and 5 assists against Buffalo while adding 3 steals and 2 blocks, showcasing intensity and defensive versatility beyond typical scoring guards [2]. Now signed with Waverly in Australia's NBL1 and available for Europe (26-27), she brings proven conference-level excellence, high-energy play, and a team-first mentality that makes her an immediate fit for any roster needing a dynamic, double-digit scorer who controls both ends [1][2].
