What Thacker did this week:  Thacker recorded her first double-double of the season to help lead the Norse to a 72-65 victory over Lipscomb on Saturday night at The Bank of Kentucky Center.  She scored a team-high 18 points and grabbed a game-high 12 rebounds for her third career double-double.  Her 12 rebounds equaled the career high she has achieved three times now.  She also blocked two shots while collecting two steals and one assist on the night.  She played the entire 40 minutes for NKU and came up big down the stretch to hold off a Lipscomb rally.  Thacker connected on two layups, a 3-point field goal and a free throw in the final five minutes to help lead NKU to victory.
