I want to thank Coach Banghart for her trust and mentorship. I look forward to working alongside the extraordinary coaches and staff and with this immensely talented team that is Carolina Basketball.”

“Promoting Lexi was an easy and unanimous decision for our staff. Her "figure it out" mindset, diligent and thoughtful eye for scouting, and ability to use film as an effective teaching tool have already made a significant impact,” said Banghart. “Add to that, her relentless work ethic and reliability, and it’s clear why she’s earned this coveted role.”
