Junior point guard DJ McCarty has led her team in scoring several times this season. The women’s basketball team’s 61-54 win against Denver on Wednesday was no different, as McCarty led with 19 points. She was 8-8 from the field and 1-1 from the 3-point line.

McCarty said being a solid transition player into the Shockers offense is a big part of her game. She said working on transition in practice so she’s consistent in games has been helpful.

“I know transition is a really big part of our game so whenever I have a chance to either get to the basket or find my teammates in transition that’s what I’m trying to do so just making sure I’m doing the same thing in practice and being consistent with that,” McCarty said.
