Elyseia Dunn Signs With The Lady Bulldogs
STARKVILLE, Miss. - Head coach Sharon Fanning-Otis and the Mississippi State Women's Basketball program have added its ninth player to its 2010 signing class, picking up 6'0" forward Elyseia Dunn of Jefferson (Community) College.
Dunn, a native of Grandview, Mo., averaged 11.1 points and 5.7 rebounds as a sophomore this past year for the Vikings. Dunn helped lead Jefferson to an appearance in the NJCAA Division 1 Championship game this past March as JC finished its season 32-2.
"Elyseia is a very versatile player that can play inside-out with her back to the bucket," commented Fanning-Otis. "The experience she has gained the past two seasons should be very valuable to us this upcoming season."
A graduate of Lighthouse Christian Academy outside of St. Louis, Mo., Dunn was a 2007-08 McDonald's All-American nominee, a Sporting News High School All-American Honorable Mention, first-team NACA All-American and a 2008 first-team NCHAA All-American. Dunn averaged 15 points and eight rebounds a game during her career and was nominated for the Missouri Gatorade Player of the Year Award her senior season. She was also the valedictorian of her senior class.
Born April 5, 1990, Elyseia is the daughter of Donna Dunn.
