Alabama A&M guard Shelomi Sanders has added to her list of achievements in the college basketball offseason. On Friday, @aamuathletics on Instagram announced that Sanders is the program's Bulldog of the Week, an honor for standout players of the program.

In her lone year with the Bulldogs so far in the 2024-25 season, Sanders averaged 1.2 points, 0.4 rebounds, 0.3 assists and 3.9 minutes in 26 contests. The Boulder, Colorado native previously spent her first two seasons with the Jackson State Lady Tigers and then with the Colorado Buffaloes.
Sanders and the rest of the Bulldogs finished last campaign with an overall record of 21-11 (14-4, SWAC) and were eliminated in the first round of this year's NIT by the Chattanooga Mocs, 53-49.
