HEAD OF THE CLASS: For the first time in her career, Shinya Lee earned Centennial Conference Player of the Week honors on Tuesday. She led the Bullets to a 2-0 week, averaging a double-double with 11.5 points and 10.5 rebounds per game while playing just 23 minutes per contest in 20-plus point wins over Dickinson and Haverford. She also blocked five shots and added three steals for the week. Lee recorded eight points, nine rebounds, two steals and two blocks in just 26 minutes against Dickinson on Wednesday before netting 15 points, 12 rebounds and three blocks in 21 minutes at Haverford on Saturday.
WHAT'S THE SCENARIO?: Gettysburg enters the final day of the regular season tied with Johns Hopkins for the top seed. If both teams finish with the same result today then a coin flip will be needed for the second straight year to determine the top seed and hosting rights for the entire Centennial Conference tournament. The two teams are guaranteed the top two seeds in the tournament and will each host a semifinal on Friday night.
THANK YOU, SENIORS!: Today is the final regular-season home game for Shinya Lee, Mackenzie Szlosek and Emily Violante. The trio has combined for more than 2,200 points, nearly 1,600 rebounds, nearly 300 assists, more than 300 steals and nearly 300 blocks combined. Szlosek is a 1,000-point scorer despite missing most of this season with injury while Lee is the program's all-time leader in blocked shots.
