Ainsley Shelsta is a paint-anchoring, double-double machine for Occidental
Ainsley Shelsta brings serious two-way juice for Occidental: in the 2024-25 season she averaged 17.3 points and 13.4 rebounds per game, and she was already a First Team All-SCIAC center after posting 13.7 points, 10 rebounds and 13 double-doubles in 2023-24. Her calling card is size plus production—6-foot-5, efficient inside scoring, elite rebounding, and shot-blocking presence—plus the kind of toughness coaches love, with reports noting she played through injuries and fatigue while helping push Oxy’s postseason rise.
