On January 3, 2018, Shakyla Hill became the fourth player in NCAA Division I history (men's and women's) to record a quadruple-double; it had not been done since Lester Hudson did it in 2007 . In the Lady Tigers' 93–71 win over the Alabama A&M Lady Bulldogs, Hill recorded 15 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, and 10 steals.[ 2]
