Elmore transfers to University of Rhode Island for graduate season

Elmore spent the last three years of her collegiate basketball career playing for Seton Hall under head coach Anthony Bozzella after initially starting at Syracuse for her freshman season. She was named to the 2020-21 All-Big East First Team and was the only player in the Big East Conference to rank in the Top-15 in all five major statistical categories, averaging 17.4 points, 9.1 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.9 steals.
