There was no such thing as an offseason for Dee Dee Shiplett during her time at Adams State from 1983-88. As a three sport athlete, Shiplett competed in volleyball, basketball, and softball; earning a total of nine varsity letters.
On the basketball court she emerged onto the scene during her freshman season of 1983-84. She ranked within the top 25 for scoring amongst Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC) players that season as Adams State earned an RMAC Championship under Hall of Fame coach Jack 'Doc' Cotton. During her junior campaign of 1985-86 she was selected to the Second Team All-RMAC and ranked second in the conference with a 51 percent shooting clip from the field.
On the diamond she was a NAIA District 7 All-American Honorable Mention selection in 1986. In 1987 she threw a no-hitter against Colorado School of Mines and posted a 1.34 season ERA while hitting .474. In her final season of 1988 she ranked first in the RMAC in hitting, hitting percentage, and runs batted in. In total she was a two-time RMAC All-Conference selection as a pitcher (1987 & 1988). She was also tabbed All-NAIA District 7 as a utility player in 1988. That same season, Adams State was crowned RMAC Champions.
Shiplett also lettered twice in volleyball (1985 & 1986) under head coach Vivian Frausto.
