From there, she went on to set the Cornell record for games started (109) and ranked second all-time in career games played (111). She also finished her Big Red career ranked third all-time in 3-point field goals made (144).
Lyman still ranks among the top 20 in Cornell history in assists (14th – 219), steals (14th – 122), and minutes played (13th – 3096). She finished her career with 718 career points.
