Lehman also earned the honor on November 26 and December 17. She is one of two players in the conference to earn the honor three times this year, Keuna Flax of Central Missouri being the other.

She averaged 20.5 points, 11.5 rebounds, and 5.0 blocked shots per game. Against Missouri Western, she had 20 points with 11 rebounds and four blocked shots, then had 21 points, 12 rebounds and six blocked shots against Lincoln. The double-doubles were her eighth and ninth of the season. Lehman continues to lead NCAA Division II in blocked shots per game (4.2).
