Point guard and defensive specialist Elisa Mevius joins Ducks
The Oregon Ducks women’s basketball team will be joining the Big Ten Conference with a new point guard.
Elisa Mevius, who will be a junior for the 2024-25 season, has transferred to Oregon from Siena College in Loudonville, NY. Siena is far from Oregon, but Mevius is used to playing far from home as she is from Rendsburg, Germany.
Oregon has had some good luck with players from Germany as the Sabally sisters, Satou and Nyara, hail from that country.
As for Mevius, she is a defensive specialist. She was named the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Year. Mevius set the MAAC single-season record with 135 steals. She also averaged 12 points, 6.8 rebounds and 5.1 assists a game for the Saints this past season.
