“I am really excited about Alexis Sexton joining the Golden Bear Family. Her Dad was an engineering graduate of WVU Tech and she has family in our area. Three are lots of things to love about Lex’s game: She has really good size as a guard, she is an outstanding shooter from 3, and she can play multiple positions. In the classroom, she is a 4.0 student. Lex’s character and personality are a great fit with our team and I am looking forward to the impact she is going to have on our program as well as our school. Congratulations and welcome to WVU Tech Lex!”
