Complete Game Notes

After winning Thursday evening at Kentucky Wesleyan, Lewis women's basketball makes the short trip to Evansville, Ind. to play Southern Indiana on Saturday. Tip is set for 1 p.m. A win would be Lewis' third consecutive victory.
 
AGAINST THE SCREAMING EAGLES - Lewis leads the all-time series 30-26.
 
LAST TIME WE MET - Lewis defeated Southern Indiana 72-53 on Dec. 1 earlier this season. Jamie Johnson (South Holland, Ill./Marian Catholic) had a game-high 17 points in the contest.
 
ONE MORE TIME! - Each game the rest of the season is against a GLVC East Division opponent the Flyers have already played once this season.
 
SWISH FROM KISH - Madeline Kish (Oak Forest, Ill./Sandburg) has made two or more 3-pointers in five consecutive games.
 
SPEAKING RECENTLY - Over the last four games, Jess Reinhart (Normal, Ill./Bloomington Central Catholic) (14.8), Alexus Grayer (Washington, Ill./Washington) (11.0), Madeline Kish (Oak Forest, Ill./Sandburg) (10.8) and Jamie Johnson (South Holland, Ill./Marian Catholic) (10.8) are all averaging double-figures for Lewis. Lewis is 2-2 in the span.
 
TELL HER WE'RE PLAYING BELLARMINE - Freshman Nikki Nellen (New Berlin, Wis./Pius XI) has had her two best games of the season against Bellarmine. She scored 14 points with nine assists at Bellarmine on Jan. 19. On Saturday, Feb. 4 she totaled 15 points and five assists. She's made 7-of-11 3-point attempts against the Knights.
 
WBCA PLAY 4 KAY - Lewis will wear pink uniforms on Feb. 18 against St. Joseph's as part of the WBCA (Women's Basketball Coaches Association) Play 4 Kay initiative. The purpose of the program is to “raise breast cancer awareness on the court, across campuses, in communities and beyond.” The Lewis women's basketball team is selling pink Lewis t-shirts for $15 with proceeds benefiting the Kay Yow Cancer Fund. Those looking to purchase a shirt can do so in person at Lewis' final home game.
 
CARBAUGH TIME - Senior Devon Carbaugh (Sterling, Ill./Sterling) rejoined the starting lineup on Thursday, Jan. 26 against Indianapolis. She added nine points and seven rebounds against the Greyhounds before scoring 12 points on 5-of-5 shooting at St. Joseph's on Jan. 28. The senior scored 10 points on 4-of-6 shooting against Bellarmine. 
 
FROM WAY DOWNTOWN - Since the Flyers' game against UW-Parkside on Jan. 16 sophomore Alexus Grayer (Washington, Ill./Washington) is shooting 48.3 percent (14-of-29) from 3-point range.
 
FOR STARTERS - The Flyers have used 11 starting lineups this season.
 
FOUR STRAIGHT - Lewis has used the same starting lineup (Johnson, Kish, Nellen, Carbaugh and Reinhart) in their last four games. It's the longest stretch this season with the same starting lineup.
 
WRITE HER NAME IN INK - Freshman point guard Jamie Johnson (South Holland, Ill./Marian Catholic) is the only Flyer to have started every game for the Flyers.
 
IT MUST BE THE NUMBER - Freshman Jess Reinhart (Normal, Ill./Bloomington Central Catholic), who wears the same 34 jersey number of fourth all-time scorer at Lewis Jenny Turpel (Johnsburg, Ill./Johnsburg) (1,819 points), put on a Turpel-esque performance on Saturday at Saint Joseph's by scoring 27 points. The total was the highest for a Flyer this season. Turpel however never scored more than 20 points in a game during her freshman season. Coincidently though, Turpel's career high of 37 came against the same Saint Joseph's team on Feb. 4, 2010.
 
REINHART OF GOLD - Since being inserted into the starting lineup on Jan. 14 against UIS, freshman Jess Reinhart (Normal, Ill./Bloomington Central Catholic) is averaging 13.3 points per game and shooting 51.2 percent (44-of-86) from the floor. She is taking advantage of her chances at the free throw line, shooting 91.4 percent (32-of-35) from the charity stripe since Jan. 14. She scored in double-digits in six straight games (from Jan. 14 to Feb. 2). She was the first freshman to score in double-digits in six consecutive games since Darcee Schmidt did so in 20 straight in 2003-04.
 
YOUNG GUNS- Lewis started four freshmen (Johnson, Nellen, Itschner, Reinhart) with sophomore Lauren Mead (Wauconda, Ill./Wauconda) against UIS on Jan. 14 and UW-Parkside on Jan. 16. It's the first time Lewis started four freshmen in a game since Nov. 21, 2003 when Darcee Schmidt (Machesney Park, Ill./Harlem), Mary Moskal (Cherry Valley, Ill./Rockford Boylan), Erin Cox (Lena, Ill./Lena-Winslow) and Brittney Diener (Fond du Lac, Wis./Fond du Lac) started against Grand Valley State in Allendale, Mich. Lewis won the contest 60-57.
 
ADDING AN ALL-AMERICAN - Hannah Koeneman (New Haven, Ind./Woodlan) joined the Lewis women's basketball team on Dec. 8. The name might be familiar to those around the GLVC as she was an American Volleyball Coaches Association All-America Third Team selection as a senior right side hitter for Lewis in 2011. 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.
 
UP NEXT - Lewis travels to Southern Indiana on Saturday for a 1 p.m. start with the Screaming Eagles.
