UAPB's Scoring-Rebounding Force from a Bygone Era
Ciara Shields shone as a forward for the UAPB Golden Lionettes in the late 2000s, leading the team with 13.3 points and 9.0 rebounds per game in the 2007 season while dropping 21-point, 14-rebound double-doubles; her efficient scoring (like 6-9 FG with 9-11 FT in key wins) and relentless glass-crashing made her a SWAC standout. Though her career peaked pre-2010 with brief Providence stints, her physicality and clutch free-throw prowess highlight a gritty competitor—perfect for teams needing blue-collar frontcourt intensity, if scouting for that vintage mold.
