“Kelsi is a quality person with great character who comes from a very successful basketball program at Sioux Center High School,” commented head coach Earl Woudstra. “She is a guard who both can attack the basket and be very effective shooting from the perimeter. Kelsi has a good understanding of the game and we look forward to the contributions she will make to the basketball program and to the campus community.”

Mahlum is a 6’1” forward who played for Adel-DeSoto-Minburn High School. She averaged nearly 12 points, seven rebounds and two blocks per game last season.
