Extra, Extra! Philly.com.

Senior guard Erin Shields leads the Hawks with 14.9 points per game; her backcourt running mate, junior Natasha Cloud, runs the show with 7.8 assists and a team-high 6.7 rebounds per game to go with 11.5 points. Shields isn't afraid to let it fly from outside, with 222 attempted threes on the season (exactly half the team's total). I'd be worried about their rebounding margin, though.
