NIU women's basketball: Lehman's historic night gives Huskies win at Western Michigan

Northern Illinois guard Ally Lehman had a night for the ages.

The junior tied a school record for points in a game and helped propel the Huskies to an 80-70 win at Western Michigan on Wednesday.

Lehman finished with 41 points on the night, tying Lisa Foss (1990-91) and Carol Owens (1989-90) for most points in a game by a Huskie player.

"From the beginning, she was aggressive and was locked in," Northern Illinois coach Lisa Carlsen said. "I'm really excited for her because she's put in a lot of work."

On the night, Lehman finished 12 for 19 from the field and 15 for 16 from the free-throw line.
