BURNSVILLE, MN – For the third time this season and the second week in a row, Lexie Schneider earned Northern Sun Women's Basketball Player of the Week honors after leading the University of Mary women's basketball team to two big conference road wins.

This is the sixth time in her career that Schneider was named NSIC Player of the Week, surpassing former teammate Cassie Askvig for the most Northern Sun weekly citations in program history. 

Schneider had a season-high 31 points in the Marauders 77-66 win over the University of Minnesota Duluth. The senior added seven rebounds while shooting 10-of-15 from the field.

The Appleton, WI, native scored 19 points and had eight rebounds, three assists and two blocks in UMary's 60-57 victory over Concordia University, St. Paul. Schneider blocked the Golden Bears game-tying shot and grabbed the rebound to secure a Marauders victory.

Over the two games, Schneider averaged 25 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.5 blocks. She shot 15-of-24 from the field (62.5%) and 20-of-28 at the line (71.4%).

The senior leads the NSIC in scoring this season with 20.6 ppg and rebounding with 9.1 rebounds per game. She ranks 6^th in the NCAA in scoring and is tied for 37^th in rebounding.
The Marauders return home to the McDowell Activity Center against Augustana University on Friday, January 12, at 7:30 pm.
