Earning her third consecutive Influxer/NEC Rookie of the Week accolade, Lewis balled out once again for CCSU. The freshman guard scored 23 points, nabbed eight rebounds, recorded two steals and dished an assist in the Blue Devils’ 60-50 season final win over New Haven. The Fredericksburg, VA native was on fire from the start as she netted CCSU’s first five points to help the Blue Devils jump out to an early lead. Lewis continued to be an offensive catalyst for her team as she shot 45.0 percent from the floor and 33.3 percent from three-point land. She also went 3-of-5 from the free throw line. This marks the fourth straight game that Lewis has dropped 21 or more points. The 6-0 rookie ranks fourth in the conference for scoring (13.8) and leads all freshmen in points per game. Additionally, Lewis is the best freshman free throw shooting in the conference (80.0) and fifth-best overall. This is the first time since 2015 that a CCSU freshman has earned at least three NEC Rookie of the Week awards with Camdan Musgrave completing the feat 11 years ago.
