Elon University Athletics

Ranking among the top ten in program history in scoring, rebounding, blocked shots, free-throws made, free-throw percentage and field goals made, Kelsey Evans was one of the greatest women’s basketball players to compete at Elon.

Evans is Elon’s all-time career leader in blocked shots with 227 and blocks per game at 1.8. She also ranks seventh with 1,457 points, third with 1,004 rebounds, fourth with 343 free-throws made, fifth with a 76.4 career free-throw percentage, and sixth with 550 field goals made.

Her 21 rebounds against Chattanooga in 2013 is the second-highest single game mark in program history. She went 10-for-10 at the free-throw line against Virginia Intermont in 2010, becoming one of eight players to go perfect from the line with at least 10 attempts in a single game. She tied the school record with seven blocked shots against Western Carolina in 2013 as well.

Evans was named first team All-Southern Conference in 2013 by vote of the coaches and was a three-time second team All-SoCon selection by the media (2011-13). She led the conference in rebounds and blocks per game in 2011.

The 2011 team went 20-13, setting a new Division I program record for wins. That team earned its 20th win with a 103-72 victory over USC Upstate in the first round of the Women’s Basketball Invitational (WBI) as Evans had a double-double with 11 points and 11 rebounds. In Evans’ senior season of 2012-13, the team again earned a bid to the WBI, defeating Eastern Kentucky in the opening round 68-61. Evans had 26 points, on 9-of-18 shooting, and nine rebounds.
