After drawing her first start of the season in the second game of the year, Goff failed to disappoint as she turned in a career-high 23 points to lead Ole Miss to an 86-60 victory over Louisiana-Lafayette. In the following game, Goff registered her first double-double of the season as she tallied 10 points and 11 rebounds in a 73-57 win over Alabama A&M. Goff would go on to set career-highs with 10 free throws at Kentucky and four assists against Auburn over the course of the year.
“We are extremely proud for Shawn because we all know what type of player she is,” Ole Miss head coach Renee Ladner said. “Shawn has all the traits you would expect from an All-SEC player and we couldn’t be happier with the production she has provided us with this season.”
Goff and the Lady Rebels return to action Thursday afternoon at 12:00 p.m. when No. 8 seed Ole Miss takes on ninth-seeded
