In the heart of Ashland Women’s Basketball’s pursuit of another Great Midwest Athletic Conference crown, one name has risen from a quietly determined walk-on to a dynamic, impact-making guard: Lexi Howe. Her journey, marked by tenacity, growth, and clutch performances, has become one of the must-watch stories of the G-MAC season, and you can watch her full player profile now on FloCollege.

Lexi Howe’s path to prominence didn’t start with high fanfare. A product of Tri-Valley High School in Zanesville, Ohio, Howe came to Ashland with solid credentials — multiple all-Ohio honors, league player of the year nods, and a record-breaking prep scoring resume — but she wasn’t initially projected as a centerpiece at the collegiate level.

What she lacked in name recognition, she made up for in work ethic.

That diligence paid off early: as a freshman, Howe wasn’t just contributing — she was thriving. She played in all 33 games, started 22, and put up a versatile stat line with 8.9 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game, while shooting efficiently and showing a nose for defense. Her efforts earned her 2023-24 G-MAC Freshman of the Year honors and Academic All-Conference recognition.

Those achievements laid the groundwork for what’s now shaping up to be a defining junior season.

After missing the early portion of her sophomore year due to injury, Howe returned to the lineup with a clear purpose. In 21 games (19 starts), she averaged 7.6 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.1 steals per game, connecting on 35.6 percent from beyond the arc and showing poise at the free-throw line with an 83.3 percent clip.

But the stat sheet only tells part of the story.

What makes Howe such a compelling player is her timing and clutch impact. In key stretch games last season, she delivered when it mattered most. She helped ignite scoring runs in NCAA tournament matchups, drilled momentum-shifting buckets in conference play, and offered leadership that belies her youth.

And speaking of rise, Ashland Women’s Basketball enters the 2025-26 season with lofty expectations. Selected by coaches to claim the G-MAC title for a fifth straight year, the Eagles return a core that blends veteran savvy with emerging stars like Howe, who’s poised to lead the charge.

Ashland’s recent history in the conference and beyond underscores the importance of players like Howe. The Eagles have been a consistent force in NCAA Division II postseason play, capturing multiple conference championships and making deep regional runs year after year.

That pedigree is why every G-MAC matchup matters — and why following Howe’s journey offers a front-row seat to exciting college basketball. Whether it’s a tight contest against a league rival or a road test that tests the team’s mettle, Howe’s growth embodies the grit and determination fans love. Her three-point stroke, defensive intensity, and leadership moments make each game worth watching.

As the G-MAC season unfolds, make sure you’re tuned into FloCollege for Ashland women’s basketball action.
