ISO Spotlight: Starr Jacobs is shining in Arlington

Last season, no player for UT Arlington averaged more than Shyia Smith, who scored 11.1 points per game. The team as a whole ranked 269th in points per game per Her Hoop Stats, but the team was 10th in scoring defense, in large part because the team played slow, ranking 260th in pace.

With Bre Wickware — second on the Mavs in scoring last year — gone, the 2021-22 Mavs entered this year in need of a scoring threat.
