Lewis is in uniform, went through warmups and hasn't be ruled out entirely.Still, it's another blow for the Purple Eagles, who have lost four of their last six. Sophomore Austin Cooley made his first career start in Lewis' absence. Lewis leads the MAAC is scoring at 17.1 points per game. This is the rematch of St. Peter's 90-86 double overtime victory over Niagara on Jan. 11.
