Shipman guided the Broncos to an 83-64 win on Saturday, for the team's fourth straight double-digit win during the seven-game winning streak. She poured in a game-high 22 points on 8-of-13 shooting and went 5-for-9 from the beyond the arc, recording a new season-high for 3-pointers made. She also finished with six rebounds, which was second on the team and a game-high three steals, which was as many as the Braves had as a team.
