HOUSTON (July 5, 2008) - The Houston Comets sign guard Roneeka Hodges to a seven-day contract, it was announced today by Head Coach & General Manager Karleen Thompson.

She was briefly reunited with her sister Doneeka Hodges on Seattle's training camp roster but both were waived by the Storm prior to the start of the 2008 regular season. Hodges has played all three of her WNBA seasons with the Comets, posting averages of 4.3 points per game and 1.3 rebounds per game over 88 matches with 12 starts.
