After a two month battle with Stage 4 ovarian cancer, one of the best Lady Raiders of all time, Noel Johnson, has died. Johnson spent the past 12 years as the head coach of Lone Star Conference member and a soon-to-be member of the Texas Tech University System, Midwestern State University. She is the winningest women’s HC in Midwestern’s history.
Johnson’s accomplishments as a Red Raider were incredible. She was apart of Texas Tech teams that won 4 straight conference titles and the 1993 National Championship. Johnson was known for her incredible efficiency behind-the-arc, finishing with a career percentage of 41.
