Eastern Illinois women's basketball head coach Matt Bollant has announced the addition of transfer guard Ellie Buzzelle who will join the program next season (2023-24).
 
Buzzelle played last season at Grand Canyon University and will have three years remaining at EIU.
 
"Ellie is a great lefty shooter who can score off the dribble as well.  She played on a great AAU team (Minnesota Fury) and I believe she will have a great impact on our team," said Bollant.
 
Buzzelle (5'8") played in 26 games at GCU last season making six starts.  She opened her collegiate career scoring 12 points against Arizona Christian.  She added a season-high 15 points against Utah Tech late in the year.  For the season Buzzelle averaged 3.5 points and 1.2 rebounds per game knocking down 23 3-pointers.
 
She is from Rogers, Minn., where she was a four-year starter at Rogers HS.  Buzzelle was an All-Conference performer as a sophomore and junior.  She averaged 16 points, 5 rebounds and 3 steals per game as a senior.  As a member of the Minnesota Fury she helped lead the team to the UAA National Championships in the Summer of 2022.
