Colgate’s rebound-and-rim-protecting glue forward
Kelly Korkowski was a high-impact frontcourt piece for Colgate, with career blocks ranked among the program’s best and multiple seasons showing strong rebounding, interior defense, and efficient finishing. In the 2011–12 season, she averaged 5.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.3 blocks, and 30 minutes per game, and she finished that season with 40 blocks, fifth all-time at Colgate. Her value goes beyond the box score: she was a physical, steady presence who could swing games with defense, hustle, and toughness. If you need a gritty two-way forward, that’s her lane.
