Langston University Student Graduates, Looks Forward To WNBA Career A Langston University women’s basketball player celebrated two recent milestones: Graduating from college and signing a contract to play in the WNBA. The Minnesota Lynx recently agreed to bring on Langston grad Asheika Alexander back in April. She is the first graduate of a historically Black college or university to sign with the Lynx and the sixth to sign with a WNBA team. “It's an amazing feeling to be first at anything,” Alexander said. “Just knowing that I was able to do it and to know people are going to follow after me is an amazing feeling.”
