"Not Even D2" is joined by 2023 Jostens Trophy winner, Elyce Knudsen, on this week's episode. Elyce was a 3x All-American and CCIW POTY at Millikin College (D3) before transferring to Illinois State (D1) for her final year of college basketball. The star player averaged 26.3 points per game this past season- scoring just under 800 points in her final year at Millikin College. This gives her the scoring record at now Millikin and her high school, Tolono Unity. Hear about what drives Elyce's work ethic, her experience winning the 2023 Jostens Trophy, and how her mindset has shifted now playing at the Division 1 level.This episode is available wherever you get your podcasts.
