Jackie Lis Came to Texas Tech Chasing Two Dreams. She Left With Both.

Lis made a bold move last year, leaving behind a record-setting career at Southern Illinois. She entered the transfer portal. Earning her spot at Rocky Johnson Field wasn't easy, but she quickly became a force for the Red Raiders, helping them make their mark.

That tough decision paid off quicker than anyone might have predicted. The move required immense courage, akin to leaving your favorite spot on University Avenue to start fresh at a Division I powerhouse.
