As a freshman, the 6-foot-4 forward brought a new dynamic to WKU’s lineup that allowed Ivy Brown to stretch the floor last year. Elgedawy averaged nine points, 7.1 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game while shooting 47.6 percent from the floor last season, which helped her earn the Conference USA Freshman of the Year award.
The sophomore’s offensive production has bumped up to 15 points and 7.5 rebounds per contest through 17 games. She’s improved to a 52.3 percent clip from the field and even attempted three 3-pointers this season. Elgedawy is also six assists away from her total a year ago just halfway through the season, a number that shows she’s picked up double teams to find other open shooters.
