In her final home game as a Pirate, Elmore broke the millenary point threshold in Seton Hall’s win over Providence and recorded a double-double with game-highs of 23 points and 12 rebounds. Elmore’s path to reaching the milestone in her collegiate basketball career did not come easy though. Before arriving at Seton Hall, Elmore was a five-star recruit at Syracuse and seen as the crown jewel of head coach Quentin Hillsman’s recruiting class. Though she saw minutes off the bench her freshman season with the Orange, a head injury midway through the season and a tough transitional period to the college level didn’t make for a banner first year.
