COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Oakton College (Des Plaines, Ill.) transfer Ellie Reynolds will be joining the University of Colorado Colorado Springs women's basketball program in 2024-25, announced Mountain Lions head coach Misty Wilson.
 
"We are very excited to add Ellie to our 24-25 roster as she brings us some size and length on the perimeter," said Wilson. "Ellie's IQ and skillset allows her to play the point guard spot, or she can transition over to a shooting guard and be very efficient in that role as well. Ellie's passion for the game is evident when she plays. She brings the will to win every possession, and that is something we look for in the recruiting process. Ellie's tremendous work ethic will make her transition to our program seamless. I look forward to coaching Ellie and believe she will do great things in her two years at UCCS."
