She was originally only recruited to play women’s basketball for the Blazers. Lexi has been a member of numerous teams, where she played for the softball team her freshman year. In the winter, it will be her third season playing for the women’s basketball team.

Although it is only Lexi’s second season as a member on the field hockey team, she is already in the record books.

Lexi is the leading scorer with a total of 6 goals this year, along with 2 assist, and she also has 1 hat trick. She has also been recognized as the Hood College’s athlete of the week for not only the week of Sept. 2 but also Sept. 7.

Lexi has a couple of her own that keeps her going on that field every time she plays. You will be able to pick her out on the field, due to the blue and silver bow that has pink ends on it. You may not be able to see it but she also rocks a Hello Kitty sticker on her stick.

Off of the field she is majoring in Elementary & Special Education. A side of being a member of two sport teams she finds time to be a member of SPURS.

Lexi may be caught with a couple of her teammates saying “there’s nothing like beauty in the CVS parking lot.”
