EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Women’s Basketball announced that 5’10” combo guard Lexi Sepulveda (Bolingbrook, Illinois) has signed a national letter of intent to compete for the Screaming Eagles in 2024-25.
“We are very excited to have Lexi as part of our team and family here at USI,” USI Women’s Basketball Head Coach Rick Stein said. “She fits perfectly into our style of play and our team culture here at USI.”
Â
Sepulveda comes to USI out of Plainfield East High School, where she averaged 22.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.1 steals, and 2.3 assists in 2022-23 as a junior. Her squad won 22 games last year. Additionally, Sepulveda surpassed 1,000 high school career points last season as a junior.
Â
Sepulveda was named to the News-Gazette’s 46th All-State Second Team and was an Illinois AP and ILBCA Class 4A All-State Honorable Mention last season. Sepulveda’s other accolades from last season included two All-Tournament team selections, Player of the Year and All-Conference First Team selection in the SPC East, and First-Team Herald News All-Area selection.

“Lexi can make plays in many ways on both ends of the court,” Stein added. “She can score it off the bounce and from three, and she is a solid playmaker for her teammates. Her ability to guard on and off the ball really makes her a tough defender as well.”

Sepulveda also played club basketball for Mac Irvin Lady Fire S40 – Godfather.
