FR grad gets double-double for Jackets (12/22/07)

The two-point shots weren't falling. But Holly Stein still made a big impact.

Despite missing all six of her field-goal tries from inside the 3-point arc, Stein, a 2007 Fort Recovery High School graduate, turned in another double-double Monday as her Defiance College women's basketball team evened its record with an 86-79 win over Wilberforce.

While struggling inside, Stein was the only Yellow Jacket to make a 3-pointer. She hit three of her four attempts from long distance, and buried both of her free throws for 11 points.

Stein added a career-high 15 rebounds to go along with two assists and a steal.

The freshman had eight points, five rebounds and three assists in a Dec. 15 loss to Milligan, 108-80.

Tyler Niekamp

Fort Recovery - 2003

Scored in double figures for the first time this season as his University of Findlay men's basketball team, which is ranked 15th in the NCAA's Division II, improved to 7-2 on the season.

Niekamp's double-digit effort came on a perfect shooting afternoon Dec. 15 against Michigan Tech. He went 3-for-3 from the field, including 2-for-2 from 3-point range, and shot 2-of-2 at the foul line for 10 points.

The senior also grabbed four rebounds in the 79-40 victory.

Niekamp added five points and an assists Tuesday in a 76-66 triumph over Lake Erie.
