LINDSEY LOUTSENHIZER, MANHATTAN

Sophomore, Forward, 6-0, North Huntingdon, PA/Norwin

Loutsenhizer averaged 19.0 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3.0 steals last week, as the Lady Jaspers posted back-to-back two-point victories over Saint Peter's and Niagara to run their winning streak to three straight games.  She also shot .520 (13-of-25) from the field and .818 (9-of-11) at the free throw line last week.  Against Saint Peter's on Monday, Loutsenhizer had 20 points (her fourth 20-point game of the season) on 6-for-12 shooting.  She sank both of her three-point attempts and went 6-for-7 at the charity stripe in the game, and her free throw with four seconds left provided the final margin in Manhattan's 59-57 victory.  Loutsenhizer also pulled down five rebounds against the Peahens.  On Saturday afternoon against Niagara, Loutsenhizer tallied 18 points on 7-for-13 shooting.  She added eight rebounds and a career-high six steals in the 55-53 win.
