JOHNSON... - In conference games only, freshman Jamie Johnson (South Holland, Ill./Marian Catholic) ranks seventh in the GLVC in assists per game (3.50).

& JOHNSON - If Jamie Johnson (South Holland, Ill./Marian Catholic) gets a steal in a game, you can count on her to get another.

BETTER STATESIDE - Senior Madeline Kish (Oak Forest, Ill./Sandburg) has made a 3-pointer in every game this season, except the two the Flyers played in Hawaii (vs. BYU-Hawaii and Northeastern State).

MURDOCK FROM THE FLOOR - Labrenthia Murdock (Round Lake, Ill./Round Lake) is having the best shooting season of he career. So far in 2011-12 she is shooting 43.7 percent from the floor (59-of-135). It's above last season's average of 42.1 percent (114-of-271) and her freshman-year shooting percentage of 36.5 percent (97-of-266).

YOUNG BY THE NUMBERS - Lewis' eight newcomers have combined to play 1042 minutes, or 42.5 percent of the available court time. The newcomers have scored 267 points, or 31.2 percent of Lewis' 856 points.

REJECTED - Sophomore Lauren Mead (Wauconda, Ill./Wauconda) ranks fourth in the GLVC in blocked shots per game with a 1.50 average. She's recorded a block in every game this season except for the Dec. 3rd contest against Kentucky Wesleyan. She totaled four against McKendree on Nov. 14.

PERFECT FROM BEYOND THE ARC - Lewis made all five of their second half 3-point attempts against Southern Indiana on Dec, 1. The last time Lewis made every 3-point attempt in a half was when the Flyers drained all five attempts in the first half against Butler on Nov. 21, 2004. Lewis dropped the game at Hinkle Fieldhouse 71-59.

TAKING IT AWAY - The Flyers recorded 20 steals against BYU-Hawaii on Nov. 24th. It was the first time Lewis earned 20 steals in a game since recording 20 at Kentucky Wesleyan on Jan. 20, 2005.

ADDING AN ALL-AMERICAN - The Flyers have added an All-American to their roster. Hannah Koeneman (New Haven, Ind./Woodlan), a 6-2 right-side hitter for the Lewis women's volleyball team, joined the team on Dec. 8. She was named to the American Volleyball Coaches Association All-America Third Team in late November following a stellar senior season with the Lewis women's volleyball team. She recorded a team-high 299 kills with 91 blocks for the Flyers in 2011 and helped Lewis to a 25-7 record. She joins the Lewis women's basketball team with junior eligibility.
