Box Score Fort Hays State's Kate Lehman record a triple-double as the Tiger women's basketball team rolled over Lindenwood, 99-76, on Thursday evening inside Gross Memorial Coliseum.
 
Lehman finished with 13 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists en route to her first career triple-double, and only the second triple-double in Fort Hays State's NCAA Division II history.  The only other triple-double recorded during the Tigers' NCAA era was by Amy Scoby during the 1994-95 season.

Chelsea Mason led the Tigers in scoring for the second straight game, reaching the 20-point plateau for the fourth time this season.  Mason finished the night with 25 points on 9-for-19 shooting.
 
Katelyn Edwards was second on the team in points and just missed a double-double, finishing with 16 tallies and eight rebounds.  Also hitting double-digits on the night was Jill Faxon, who finished 2-of-2 on three-point attempts with 10 points.
 
Beth Bohuslavsky had team-highs in steals (three) and assists (five), while Nikola Kacperska had four assists and seven points. 
 
Lehman's 10 blocks are a career-high for the junior center, and helped extend her streak of consecutive double-doubles to nine games. 
 
For the second game in a row, the Tigers started hot in the opening minutes, jumping out to a 15-4 lead at the 16:02 mark and never looking back.  During that first four minutes, Chelsea Mason and Chandler each went 2-of-2 from three-point range.  Mason continued that hot play throughout the half, putting up 10 points in the first five minutes and finishing with 16 at the break. 
 
Over the first 12:17 of the game, FHSU was shooting 65 percent from the field, and held leads of 19 on two separate occasions in the opening 20 minutes (27-8 and 46-27).  The Tigers went into the half shooting 55.9 percent on field goals and ahead, 46-31
 
Out of halftime, LWU climbed within 11 at the 18:25 mark, but that was it for the Lady Lions.  FHSU held tough until the 12:18 mark, when a stretch of eight unanswered gave the Tigers a 19-point lead at 68-49 (11:24).  That lead hovered around 20 for the remainder of the game, when, up 96-75, FHSU's Alyssa Palmer hit a three-pointer to give the Tigers 99 points and their largest lead of the night (24).
 
FHSU is back in action on Saturday (Jan. 11) at Gross Memorial Coliseum for a conference matchup with Lincoln.  Game time is slated for 2 p.m.
