November has been a time for coach Keitha Adams to experiment with a roster of nine freshmen on the Wichita State women’s basketball team.
The Shockers (5-2) ended the month with a 60-47 loss to Oklahoma State at Koch Arena on Tuesday, but the rapid development of freshman Dawnyel Lair has been a revelation.
The 5-foot-8 guard from Los Angeles scored a career-high in points (15) for a third straight game and tracked down a career-high six rebounds against Oklahoma State to go along with three steals.
After hardly getting off the bench in WSU’s first four games, Lair has become an increasing factor for the Shockers in the last three games.
