Any player cutting into Thea Lemberger’s lane better expect some contact.
“I’m excited to hit ‘em,” she said.
The women’s basketball senior guard has already taken the most charges on her team, but she’ll gladly take some more. She’ll dive for loose balls. She’ll welcome the blows that try to stop her from scoring. She’s not afraid.
She just loves the contact. It’s what she grew up learning. That’s what basketball means to her, and nothing’s going to change her game – even if she’s playing with a broken leg.
