INDIANAPOLIS -- Trine graduate transfer Kelsy Taylor is the newest member of the Butler women's basketball program. A 6-2 forward from Louisville, Taylor will use her final season of eligibility playing for the Bulldogs.
 
"We are excited to have Kelsy join us as a grad transfer for the upcoming season," Head Coach Austin Parkinson said. "Kelsy is an excellent communicator who provides veteran experience at the post position and is a very good defensive player. Her ability to run the floor and seal as well as rebound the basketball will be valuable for our basketball team."
 
A starter in all 32 games for Trine, Taylor averaged 8.4 points and 5.3 rebounds per contest during a historic season for the Thunder. Trine posted a 28-4 overall record and reached the Final Four of the NCAA Division III Tournament. Three of their four losses during the 2021-22 campaign came to eventual National Champion Hope.
 
Taylor will provide Butler with quality depth in the frontcourt. She was a force inside for the Thunder over her four-year career. While at Trine, Taylor appeared in 106 games, making 77 starts. She shot 49.6 percent from the field and grabbed 499 rebounds.
