SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. – Seton Hall women's basketball head coach Anthony Bozzella announced today the addition of La Salle transfer Nicole Melious (Staten Island, N.Y.) to the program.
After a strong freshman season at La Salle University, Melious will now suit up for the Pirates this fall and have three years of NCAA eligibility remaining.
Melious burst onto the collegiate scene last season and was rightfully named to the Atlantic 10 All-Rookie Team. A lethal long-distance shooter, she led La Salle with 10.7 points per game and drained 70 three-pointers, which ranked among the top-5 in the A-10 and the top-50 in the country. Against Fordham in the regular-season finale, Melious erupted for a career-high 28 points and set a new La Salle record with eight made three-pointers in only 10 attempts.
Prior to La Salle, Melious became a legend at Susan E. Wagner High School, setting the New York City all-time single-season scoring record with 1,137 points as a senior. The all-time leading scorer in Staten Island history, for both girls and boys competition, she scored over 3,000 career points and averaged an astonishing 43.4 points per game as a senior. A two-time New York State Sportswriters Player of the Year, she's the State of New York's all-time leader in three-pointers made with 410 for her high school career.
