The UW-Green Bay women’s basketball team has announced the signing of 5’10” guard Elisa Melvins. She played in two games last year for the Oregon Ducks before suffering a season-ending injury, which allowed her to receive another year of NCAA eligibility. During those two games, she put up 25 points and 7 assists.
She began her collegiate career with the Sienna Saints, and she was named the MAAC Freshman of the Year, as well as being named to the All-Freshman and All-League Third Team. During the season, she appeared in all 32 games, starting 31 of them, and averaged 10.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, 4.1 assists, and 2.2 steals per game.
Her sophomore year was just as bright, being named the MAAC Defensive Player of the Year, while also receiving All-League First-Team honors, averaging 12.0 points and 6.8 rebounds, 5.1 assists, and her 4.5 steals per game, which were second-most in the country. Her 135 steals that season are a Siena program record.
Going into her junior year, is when Melvins transferred to Oregon. With the Ducks, she played in 28 games, starting in 19 of them, and averaged 6.6 points, 3.0 assists, 2.9 rebounds, and 1.6 steals per game.
