Shafir Named to Postseason WNIT 20th-Anniversary Top 20 Player List

FORT COLLINS, CO - Former Rocket great Naama Shafir has been named to the Postseason WNIT 20th-Anniversary All-Time Top 20 Player List.

Shafir scored a career-high 40 points in UT's 76-68 victory over USC in the 2011 championship game before a national television audience and Mid-American Conference women's basketball record 7,301 fans in Savage Arena.

The four-time all-league selection poured in 23 points in the pivotal second half, including nine straight during a 12-0 run that gave the Rockets a 57-47 lead. The Trojans pulled within 70-66 in the final minute of regulation, but Shafir put the game out of reach with a string of six-consecutive free throws in the final 25 seconds.
