Kiara Lewis forced her opponent left from the top of the key and stole the ball with her left hand. She gathered and pushed to Tiana Mangakahia, and one bounce pass to Digna Strautmane bumped SU’s lead to 61-53 just seconds before the third-quarter horn.

Lewis’ third steal of the game further subdued a 3-0 Lady Lions’ offense that had a lead as high as 12 in the first half on Sunday.
