The University of Pittsburgh Greensburg announced that Kelsey Oddis has been named the new head women’s basketball coach.
Oddis spent the last two seasons as assistant coach under former head coach Hayley Schaetzle and prior to coach, the native of Lower Burrell had one of the most distinguished careers for the blue and gold.
“I want to thank Mr. Yetter and the University for this opportunity”, remarked Oddis. “I look forward to continuing to build the culture that I have been fortunate enough to be a part of as a player and an assistant coach here at Pitt-Greensburg. I am excited for this opportunity and to continue our teams success on and off the court.”
This past season, Oddis helped guide the Bobcats to a 17-10 overall record and the team’s first playoff victory, which came via a 71-53 win over Penn State Behrend in the first round of the AMCC Tournament.
“We are so thrilled to have Kelsey as our Head Women’s Basketball Coach”, commented Pitt-Greensburg Director of Athletics Jeromy Yetter. “Kelsey has a strong passion for coaching and continuing to lead our women’s basketball program as this was very evident after many talks over the last several weeks. She will do a great job and will continue to build upon our success in women’s basketball.”
In her four seasons for the Bobcats, Oddis was a two-time All-AMCC selection, including First Team honors as a senior where she posted averages of 19.4 points and 11.4 rebounds, both of which ranked second in the conference. Oddis also became the 12th player in program history to eclipse 1,000 career points and concluded her four years ranked seventh all-time with 1,203 career points.
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.
