FORT COLLINS, Colo. -- Head Coach Ryun Williams on Friday announced the addition of Kincsö Kelemen to the Colorado State women's basketball 2015-16 roster.
A native of Sfantu Gheorghe, Romania, Kelemen has played with the Sepsi SIC Romanian national team since 2011. The 5-9 point guard was named Player of the First League this season following the team's trip to the Romanian League Final, while posting a 24-2 record and first-place finish in the league standings. She plays on a very experienced roster, which included Colorado native and former WNBA guard Chucky Jeffery.
"We are very excited that Kincsö is going to be a Ram," commented Williams. "She is a very good point guard with great vision and play-making ability. KK makes players around her better, and she has a very tough mindset."
Kelemen boasts an extensive list of honors. In the 2011-12 and 2012-13 seasons, she received a gold medal as a member of the Second League and U18 Romanian National Teams. She earned silver medals in 2009-10, 2010-11 and 2012-13 on the Second League team, in 2011-12 on the U17 Romanian National Team and in 2013-14 on the U20 team. During her time with the national team, she was named captain once and earned three MVP awards as a result of her play in the final tournament.
Entering Colorado State as a freshman, Kelemen previously studied at Székely Mikó Kollégium. She joins fellow Rams' signees Callie Kaiser and Sofie Tryggedsson in the fall.
