Lewis-Clark State's two
Wenatchee Valley transfers,
Nikki Haerling and Spencer
Bishop, were named the
Frontier Conference's top
newcomer and defender,
respectively, in the
league's basketball awards,
announced Monday.
The Warriors women were
represented by Haerling and
sophomore post Ashley Baker
on the first team. Senior
forward Kendra West was a
second-team pick.
The LCSC men had seniors
Martin Brothers and Danny
Allen on the first team.
Junior forward John Moore
was a second-team pick.
Haerling, who, like
Bishop, transferred from the
central Washington school
during the offseason,
averaged 14.4 points and 3.7
assists from her point guard
position.
Bishop became the
Warriors' starting off guard
midway through the regular
season. His most memorable
defensive battles came
against Montana-Western's
Matt Luedtke, who was the
NAIA's third leading scorer
at 24.4 points per game when
the Lights came to Lewiston
in late January. Bishop held
Luedtke to three points in
that game.
The L-C men, who won the
FC tournament Saturday, will
make their second
consecutive appearance in
the NAIA Division I national
tournament beginning March
16 at Kansas City, Mo.
Pairings will be announced
Wednesday.
