Shakyla Hill of the Grambling State Tigers became the first Division I player in 25 years to tally a quadruple-double during a 93-71 victory over Alabama State on Wednesday night.

Hill finished with 15 points, 10 rebounds, 10 steals and 10 assists. She became the first D-I women’s player with a quadruple-double since Sonja Tate of Arkansas State did it on January 27, 1993.

Notably, this is the first time Hill has put such a performance together, but not the first time she’s reached double digits in any of these four categories.

She’s scored double figures in points in nine of her first 13 games this season, including a high of 26 against Alabama back on December 10. She also hauled in 13 rebounds that night. She dished out ten assists in Grambling’s narrow 72-67 loss to Xavier back on November 16. And her quadruple-double marks the second straight game she’s registered 10 steals. Her 5.6 steals per game ranks second in the country, trailing only Chastadie Barrs of Lamar.

The 5’7 junior has a chance to become the first player ever with back-to-back quadruple doubles at Southern on Saturday.

In the meantime, reaction keeps on pouring in from around the basketball world.

And let’s listen to Hill herself on what it meant to accomplish the feat. She’s certainly someone to watch.
