HAMMOND, Ind. - Stephaine (pronounced Stephanie) Beck, a 5-7 senior guard at Mishawaka High School, will play for the Purdue University Calumet Peregrines next season signing with the university Monday night. Beck, a perimeter shooter, is averaging 17.2 points, 3.4 assists and 3.2 rebounds per game this season.
She’s earned All-State Honorable Mention three times and was named a Northern Indiana Second Team All-Conference player last season. Other honors include the team’s MVP, a three-time member of the Kris Kringle Klassic tournament team, a State Farm Insurance Athlete of the Month, a Kiwanis Club Athlete of the Month, and a Burger King Athlete of the Week.
Beck is currently the third all-time leading scorer for girls basketball at Mishawaka with 1,118 points. Academically, Beck is a National Scholar Athlete with a 3.4 GPA, and has earned the school’s Academic Principal’s Award.
Beck is the second recruit signed by women’s head coach Tom Megyesi for the 2008-09 season. Adding guards like Beck to the roster has been a point of recruitment for Megyesi.
“Stephaine is one of the top guards in Northern Indiana,” Megyesi said. “I’m certain that she will fit in well with our program and give us more scoring depth.”
Beck and Elkhart Memorial guard Nicci Desimone will join a backcourt tandem of Jamesha “Meme” Harris (Merrillville) and Jenny Britton (Lake Central). Harris is the second leading scorer on the Peregrines averaging 13.6 points per game. Britton averaged 11.8 points in 12 games before suffering a season-ending injury.

REC CENTER — Freshman guard Meme Harris (Merrillville) tipped the ball away at the top of the key from Titan Niki McDonald and then sped up court to finish with a layup knotting the game at 59-59 with 3:51 to play. But the Titans closed the game on a 13-2 run to seal the nonconference matchup between former Division I Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference foes.
The final score was not indicitive of how the teams battled for the first 36 minutes. And it was a different Peregrine performance on Thursday night than the 23-point loss last month in South Bend.
Freshman Chrissy Lobodinski (Merrillville) registered her best collegiate performance with her first double-double finishing with 21 points and 11 rebounds while swatting away three shots and swiping the ball twice. Lobodinski shot 60 percent from the field, was perfect at the charity stripe on three attempts and grabbed six offensive boards for the game-high 11 total.
