Nov. 10, newly instated Head Coach Marisa Moseley secured her first career win in her Madison debut against Ruth Sinn’s St. Thomas squad, defeating the Tommies in a 67-51 victory at the Kohl Center.
In a shorthanded effort without talented scorer Julie Pospíšilová, who is currently representing the Badgers overseas for the Czech Republic national team, Moseley elected to start freshman Krystyna Ellew alongside Sydney Hilliard, Katie Nelson, Brooke Schramek and Sara Stapleton.
The decision to insert the newcomer into the starting five certainly paid off. Ellew, the all-time leading scorer for Taft High School in Chicago, finished with a team-high of 29 points, snatched 5 rebounds and recorded a perfect 8-8 mark from the charity stripe over 34:47 minutes.
