“I definitely wouldn’t be anywhere near the person or basketball-wise, the player I am without growing up with her,” Lexie Hull described her sister Lacie’s role in her life. Growing up, they did everything together until the twins had to part ways in 2022—when Lexie was selected for the WNBA and Lacie started working at eBay in Austin, Texas. It was the first time they were alone and far apart. To stay connected, they used various communication methods, including FaceTime, phone calls, Snapchat, Instagram DMs, and TikTok DMs, among others.

Even after four years of working for Lacie and playing for Lexie, the twin bond remains as strong as ever. Preserving that special connection, we’ll take you through the lives of Lacie Hull and her beloved sister, Lexie Hull, the star of the Indiana Fever.

Lacie Hull, the marvelous twin of Lexie Hull

Lexie Hull owes her sister, Lacie Hull, for helping her become the WNBA standout she is today! And it feels completely reasonable, given that her sister was instrumental in fully bringing out Lexie Hull’s competitive attitude. Growing up, they played against each other, which unconsciously shaped both of them into exceptional basketball players.

Their twin connection always played a significant role in understanding plays while they were on the court. “We can read each other on the court,” exclaimed Lexie. Even outside the game, the two saw things in the same way and kind of responded and similarly approached things.

Mostly, Lexie and Lacie played on the same team, however, their basketball journey contains some pivotal memories of their cut-throat one-on-one games in their home’s driveway. Pivotal as in these were the games that originally birthed their competitive spirit, and it became the classic twin tug between them – neither one likes to lose to the other one, no matter the size or level of the game.

“I remember that one day Lacie had won like three games in a row. And I was just so mad, and I was like, ‘Lacie, play me again. I don’t want to come inside. I’m not coming into dinner until I win,’ and I remember sitting under the basketball hoop in our driveway crying, begging Lacie to come play me because I wanted to win at least one game that day,” Lexie Hull recalled one of her defeats she was handed by Lacie.

Sharing the same face, looks, and mental intuition, Lexie and Lacie’s game was way different on the court.

Passing dimes was where Hull shone in bright light

The former was more of a scorer while the latter had her charms in making excellent dimes. “I think it’s just our personalities. I’ve always said that I love making a great pass. Making an incredible pass makes me feel as good if not better than making a layup and so I think that part of it is our personalities, part of it is just how we’ve always played,” said Lacie, who amassed 254 assists in her college basketball career as a Stanford Cardinal.

As a high school senior, Lacie Hull averaged 4.7 assists per game, which earned her a spot among ESPN HoopGurlz’s top 15 wings in the class of 2018. Her exceptional passing ability was clearly one of her standout attributes.

As a freshman at Stanford, Lacie Hull recorded 6 assists in victories against Hawaii and UCLA. She continued to deliver impressive performances throughout her college basketball career.

But passing wasn’t the only strength of Lacie Hull. She also excelled in defense, leveraging her strong mental connection with her sister to read the game effectively and make necessary adjustments.

“There is that willingness to take risks. I think it all comes down to the expectation and the familiarity of having played with each other for so long,” reasoned Lacie Hull. During her time at Stanford, the 2021 NCAA Champion garnered 371 rebounds and was named Pac-12 All-Defensive Team Honorable Mention twice.

There are several other accolades that Hull won and was awarded during those 4 passionate years of playing basketball in college including 2x Pac-12 Champion, 3x Pac-12 Tournament Champion, and Pac-12 Sixth Player of the Year, to name a few.

However, it remains unclear why Lacie Hull chose not to pursue a professional basketball career and instead entered the e-commerce field. Had she chosen otherwise, she likely would have had a successful career in the WNBA or another professional league. Nevertheless, her time at Stanford was remarkable. Alongside her twin sister, Lacie contributed to Stanford’s impressive record of 116-16, achieving 100 more wins than losses since their arrival. This accomplishment is a testament to their success under the guidance of Tara VanDerveer, the winningest coach in college basketball history.
