THE PROGRAM -- A dream turned into a dynasty as the Techsters changed the game (includes a photo of Kim Mulkey cutting down the net) http://www.thenewsstar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060212/SPORTS/602120352It wasn't until recently that Sonja Hogg reflected on the magnitude of what happened in 1982.
That year, Hogg and her Louisiana Tech Lady Techsters captured the first NCAA-sanctioned women's basketball national championship. It is something Hogg didn't give much thought to until last month when she was asked to speak at the NCAA convention as the NCAA celebrated the 25th anniversary of the governance of women's college athletics.
While waiting to speak, the program included a tribute video of that first NCAA title.
"Oh man, there was Pam Kelly, and Kim Mulkey and Angela Turner and sitting on the bench was Sue Donahoe and Leon (Barmore) and Gary (Blair) and myself," said Hogg, now a major gift officer with University Development at Baylor. "It brought back a flood of memories. That will go down in history as being the first championship, and it will always be there."
