(MIAMI, Jan. 25, 2016) -- A pair of FIU women's basketball commitments, Kayla Rogers and Alexis Gordon, have found their names on the list of nominees for the 2015-16 McDonald's All-America team.
As a boon to the first-year FIU coaching staff, both of these 5-foot-8 Floridian guards that signed with the Panthers in November, were among those on the national All-America nominees list. Rogers is from Jacksonville, and Gordon plays in Palm Bay.
"The nominations of Kayla and Alexis for such a prestigious honor is really nice for our program and a great start for what we want to do here," said FIU Head Coach Marlin Chinn.
