BOWLING GREEN — Lexi Fleming’s relentless motor while on the basketball court has been fun to watch this season.
The energy level of Bowling Green State University’s 5-foot-5 junior guard is always at full capacity, whether she’s diving after loose balls, leading a fast break, or draining shots from well beyond the 3-point line. When Fleming’s not in the game, she heads straight to an exercise bike on the bench to keep her legs loose.
But perhaps the most significant part of Fleming’s impact has been the toughness and grit she has shown while playing through pain and wearing a knee brace for the past 10 games.
