SCOUTING FLC
Fort Lewis enters the weekend at a perfect 3-0 after knocking off Lone Star Conference opponents Western New Mexico, Cameron and St. Edward's over the past week.

The Skyhawks are averaging 85 points per game while shooting 41.2 percent from the field and 37.8 percent from beyond the arc. Defensively, they're allowing opponents to shoot 42.5 percent overall and 39.3 percent from three. Their biggest advantage comes in the turnover battle: FLC commits just 14.3 turnovers per game while forcing 24.3, giving the Skyhawks a +10 margin.

Five players have already topped the 30-point mark this season, led by sophomore guard Katie Lamb with 38. On the glass, Alemaualii Fonoti paces Fort Lewis with a team-high 20 rebounds.

RAMBLINGS ABOUT THE RAMBELLES
QUICK HITS

- Majik Esquivel leads the Rambelles with 38 points on the season, followed by Taylor Grona with 34.

- The guard duo has been disruptive defensively, combining for 15 steals—an average of five per game.

- Senior center Keniah Williams recorded her first double-double of the season in the matchup against Western Colorado. She now has 14 double-doubles in her collegiate career.
2024-25 SEASON RECAP
The story of the Rambelles' 18–12 record in the 2024-25 campaign was one defined by streaks. Angelo State opened the season 2–0 before hitting a three-game skid, only to respond with an 11-game winning streak that propelled them back into contention. A late stretch of ups and downs — two losses, three wins, six losses, and two more victories — ultimately led to a first-round exit in the NCAA South Central Regional at the hands of Texas Woman's University.

EXPERIENCE TO SHARE
After fielding one of her youngest squads last season, head coach Alesha Ellis enters the 2025–26 campaign with a veteran-heavy roster. The Rambelles feature five seniors, one junior, five sophomores, and just two freshmen, giving the team a strong balance of leadership and youthful energy.

NEW FACES, NEW VIBES
The Rambelles welcome four newcomers to the roster this season, highlighted by Division I transfers Tristin Keller (Abilene Christian) and Stevi Lockheart (Lindenwood). They'll be joined by freshmen Halle Hughes, a standout from Christoval High School, and Dragana Scepanovic, a promising European addition who brings international experience to the squad.

THE COUNTDOWN TO 100 (at ASU)
Head coach Alesha Ellis is on the brink of a major milestone as she enters her fifth season leading the Rambelles. She sits just 21 wins away from reaching 100 victories at Angelo State University. The former Texas Tech Red Raider has compiled an impressive career record of 268–96 over 12 seasons, including a 79–44 mark in her four full seasons at ASU.
