SOPHOMORE YEAR (1987-88)
Ylonda Lewis saw limited playing time as a freshman but chalked it up as a learning experience. She was ready to put her skills to the test last season but was sidelined with a stress fracture and managed to play in only three games. Ylonda has a very positive attitude and has been able to work through her setbacks and will try again this season.

FRESHMAN YEAR (1986-87)
the 1987 season was a learning one for Ylonda Lewis. She only played in seven games and averaged three minutes. Ylonda will have to use her quickness and knowledge she gained last season to launch herself into a part of the game plan. Ylonda's playing time in 1988 is directly related to her determination. If she worked hard over the summer and continues to work hard through the fall, she will reap the benefits.
