The University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg and Head Women’s Basketball Coach Hayley Schaetzle have announced that Kelsey Oddis has been hired as an assistant women’s basketball coach.
Oddis, a four-year member and three-year starter for the Bobcats, graduated this past May from Pitt-Greensburg with a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology.
“As a program we are excited to keep Kelsey in blue and gold for another season,” remarked Schaetzle.”Her commitment to Pitt-Greensburg Women’s Basketball and knowledge of what it takes to perform at a high level in the conference will prove invaluable in the pursuit of an AMCC Championship.”
One of the most successful players in Pitt-Greensburg Women’s Basketball history, Oddis is a two-time All-AMCC selection, including garnering First Team honors in 2017-18 after averaging 19.4 points and 11.4 rebounds, both of which ranked second in the conference. This past season, Oddis also became the 12th player in program history to eclipse 1,000 career points and for her career, ranks seventh in school history with 1,203 points.
The native of nearby Lower Burrell, PA put together one of the most impressive individual single seasons in program history this past season, setting a new single-season school record averaging 19.4 points per game and ranks second with 486 points.
Oddis also ranks top-10 in school history in 13 different statistical categories, including fourth in both rebounds (667) and rebounds per game (6.3), and fifth in scoring average (13.4).
Along with the long list of accolades on the court, Oddis also assisted the local Greensburg community by volunteering her time at the Salvation Army, Special Olympics, and various youth basketball clinics.
An outstanding student in the classroom, Oddis was a two-time Academic All-Conference selection, a member of the Psi Chi Honor Society in 2016, and was nominated as a candidate for the DaVinci Scholar Society.
