CARBAUGH TIME - Senior Devon Carbaugh (Sterling, Ill./Sterling) started her first game of the 2011-12 season on Thursday against Indianapolis. The forward has seen her season hampered by injuries but she had her best game of the season on Thursday with nine points, seven rebounds and two steals.

FOR STARTERS - The insertion of Devon Carbaugh (Sterling, Ill./Sterling) into Lewis' starting lineup on Thursday against Indianapolis gave Lewis their 10th starting lineup combination of the season.

NO FOUL - Lewis' 11 fouls on Thursday against Indianapolis were a season low for the Flyers.

REINHART OF GOLD - Freshman Jess Reinhart (Normal, Ill./Bloomington Central Catholic) has started the last five games for Lewis. She's scored in double-figures in each game and is shooting 53.3 percent (24-of-45) from the floor in the three contests. She is the first freshman to score in double-digits in five straight games since Jenny Turpel (Johnsburg, Ill./Johnsburg) did so in seven games in 2007-08. Reinhart shares the same jersey number as Turpel, number 34.

HELPING HAND - Nikki Nellen (New Berlin, Wis./Pius XI)'s nine assists against Bellarmine on Jan. 19 were the most for a Lewis freshman since Brittney Diener (Fond du Lac, Wis./Fond du Lac) recorded 10 against Missouri-St. Louis on Jan. 29, 2004.

Lewis won the contest 60-57.

PERFECT FROM BEYOND THE ARC - Lewis made all five of their second half 3-point attempts against Southern Indiana on Dec, 1.

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 - Hannah Koeneman (New Haven, Ind./Woodlan) joined the Lewis women's basketball team on Dec. 8.

Koeneman recorded a team-high 299 kills with 91 blocks for the Flyers in 2011 and helped Lewis to a 25-7 record. The 6-2 forward with junior status for basketball last played organized basketball in high school.
