Through Week 1, Shelton is already sixth among league leaders in hitting percentage (.339), seventh in kills per set (3.67), second in total kills (22) and fourth in points per game (4.33).
 
By all accounts, 2019 was a true breakout season for the junior, but her start to the delayed spring indicates there is another bar for the first team all-conference performer to reach. 
 
The Chargers defeated both of their opponents in straight sets, Kentucky Wesleyan and Trevecca Nazarene. Both wins made Hillsdale an almost perfect 48-2 (.960) since joining the Great Midwest. 
 
In her season debut, Shelton put down a team-best 13 kills and 3 service aces vs. TNU. She had a .444 hitting percentage on 27 swings and produced 6 digs and a pair of block assists up front. 
 
On Saturday, Shelton ripped 32 swings, this time converting for nine kills and just one miscue in three sets. She also added nine digs as the Chargers swept while hitting an uncharacteristic .132 as a team. 
 
This is her second career offensive conference weekly honor.
