JONESBORO -- There were times last season when Arkansas State Coach Destinee Rogers pleaded with Lauryn Pendleton to speak up.
The then-first-year player did plenty of talking – Pendleton was recognized as Sun Belt Conference Freshman of the Year, making the Little Rock Central alumna the first Red Wolf to earn the honor in more than two decades after averaging 11.3 points and 4.6 rebounds while starting 25 of 28 games.
But Rogers wanted her point guard to be even more of a vocal presence.
That's no longer an issue as Pendleton begins Year 2 at ASU.
