When Grant Lozoya decided to transfer to Pittsburg State to play for the men’s basketball program under coach Kim Anderson two years ago, he did so with the idea the Gorillas’ coaching staff could help elevate his game and get him to the professional level.
Lozoya’s dream was realized when he signed his first professional contract on June 15 to play with C.B. L'Hospitalet in Spain.
“It was a once-in-a-lifetime type of feeling for me,” Lozoya said. “I have put all my eggs in this basket, chasing this dream for countless years. Now that it has come true, it's a really special feeling.”
Lozoya played the previous two seasons at Pittsburg State after transferring from NCAA Division I Stetson University. Lozoya scored 1,050 points in 59 career games for the Gorillas, becoming the 24th player in program history to eclipse the 1,000-career points mark. PSU went 34-26 over the last two seasons.
“Pitt State played a huge role in me signing this professional contract,” Lozoya said. “Coach (Kim) Anderson is a great coach who lets his players play and gets the most out of them. He was huge, and Coach G (Jon Gilliam) and Coach (Jason) Owens, who are no longer with the program, also played a huge role for me in elevating my game.”
