Q: What does it mean to you to be a first-generation college graduate?  

Angela Lawson: “I’m a first-generation college graduate from Louisiana Tech University. I’m originally from Longview, Texas. Basketball provided an opportunity for me to have a full-ride scholarship to college to receive my undergraduate degree, and, through that experience, I also had the opportunity to earn my master’s degree from the University of Tennessee as a graduate assistant. No one in my immediate family has a college degree. It was an opportunity to get out of a small town. If it wasn’t for basketball and that scholarship, I would probably still be in Longview, Texas…”

🤙🏼 ONE BIG THING

Hodge Heads to the Show. Redshirt Junior Ty Hodge signed an undrafted free agent contract with the Boston Red Sox.

Hodge is the 20th Roadrunner to sign an UDFA contract in program history and just the second Roadrunner to sign a UDFA contract with the Red Sox. He joins Steve Minus, who signed an agreement with the Red Sox in 1999. Hodge is the second Roadrunner to sign a UDFA contract this year.
