Alexis Lawrence joined the SIUE women's basketball staff as a graduate assistant at the beginning of the 2015-16 season.
Originally from Bowling Green, Kentucky, Lawrence was a three-year starter at the University of Missouri-St. Louis.
She became the 14th player in UMSL history to score 1,000 career points.
