Former Pitt women’s basketball star Lorri Johnson was honored at halftime during her former team’s matchup with Boston College at the Petersen Events Center on Sunday. Johnson, Pitt’s all-time leading scorer, had her number, 24, retired during the ceremony, becoming the first female athlete in the history of Pitt athletics to receive the distinction.
“I’m extremely excited for Lorri and our program,” Pitt head coach Lance White said during the postgame press conference. “There have been some very good players at Pitt that need that honor. Now we can continue that, and the players have someone to look up to.
