Former Western Kentucky women's basketball standout Crystal Kelly has joined Bellarmine women's basketball coach Chancellor Dugan's staff, the school announced Tuesday.

Kelly rejoins the Bellarmine women's basketball staff after previously serving as an assistant for four seasons from 2012-16, the last of which featured a Great Lakes Valley Conference Tournament title and was among the most successful seasons in program history. This season, the Knights are set to make their debut in Division I and the ASUN Conference.

"We welcome Crystal back with open arms," Dugan said in a news release. "She helped lay the foundation of our program, and we are looking forward to this new era with renewed excitement.
