Cullowhee, N.C. - Western Carolina University women's basketball head coach Beth Dunkenberger announced today that former Stanford standout Bobbie Kelsey will join the Lady Catamount staff.
Kelsey, a native of Decatur, Ga., has spent the last two years as the top assistant and recruiting coordinator for the University of Evansville. Prior to her stint with the Aces, she was an assistant coach at the University of Florida for two seasons. Kelsey helped the Lady Gators to back-to-back post-season appearances, including an NCAA Tournament trip in 1999 and a trip to the WNIT Championship game in 2000.
Prior to her tenure at Florida, Kelsey served as a practice player for the Atlanta Glory of the American Basketball League for one year and an assistant at Boise State University for one season.
As a player, Kelsey had an outstanding collegiate career at Stanford University. She helped the Cardinal to three Final Four appearances in five years and was a member of the 1992 National Championship team. Kelsey was a team co-captain in 1995 and 1996, voted the team's most inspirational player in 1992 and 1996, and named the team's most improved player in 1993. She earned her B.A. in communication from Stanford in 1996.
"We are extremely pleased to announce the hiring of Bobbie Kelsey," said Dunkenberger. "I had the opportunity to work with her at the University of Florida for two seasons and know that Bobbie brings a strong competitive attitude to our program. Having played in three Final Fours and been a part of a National Championship team at Stanford, she brings a wealth of successful experience to our team."
