Ella Karst brings instant scoring punch and playmaking touch to Virginia-Wise
Karst made an immediate impact as a freshman at Virginia-Wise in 2024-25, averaging 11.7 points, 3.6 rebounds, and a team-high 2.7 assists per game while finishing second on the team in scoring and delivering clutch shots, including a late floater to beat rival Emory & Henry.[2] She arrives with a proven scoring pedigree from Harlan County, where she was the second all-time leading scorer in school history, and her profile suggests a guard who can create offense, handle pressure, and produce in big moments.[3][5]
