MONTGOMERY, Ala.—Auburn
University at Montgomery has taken their place among one of the NAIA’s
best women’s basketball programs, and it has taken a lot of good players
to do that. On Saturday afternoon, another one of those players scored
her 1,000th career point to take her place among those players.
Senior Brittany Moore became
only the 12th player in AUM Lady Senator Basketball history to
record 1,000 points when she scored her sixth and seventh point in a game at
Shorter College.
Moore will conclude her
career at the end of the season not only among the AUM best in scoring, but in
several other categories as well. She is already among the top-10 in
assists, steals, three-point field goals, three-point field goal percentage,
and free-throw percentage and will be among the top-10 in games played.
She has been a model of
consistency since she arrived on campus in 2004 working her way into the
starting line-up during her freshman season and has since started in 111 of the
114 games she has played in and that includes every game the past three
seasons.
With her outside shooting
abilities, Moore is a natural two-guard, but she also has the talents to play
the point guard position. She has done that several times over her career
and has two seasons where she has over 100 assists.
She has been a team player
and never has that been more evident than this season. AUM has lost three
players to injuries over the course of the year and one of those injuries came
early in the year to the starting point guard. Once again Moore showed no
hesitation in moving over from her two guard position to run the Lady Senators
offense, hurting her own individual scoring but helping the team in the long
run.
