ORANGEBURG, South Carolina -- Sophomore forward Karahn Scott has signed her letter of intent and will be moving on to Claflin University after spending two successful years with the Express.
Scott chose Claflin, an NCAA D-II school, over NCAA D-I schools such as Valparaiso University and Fairleigh Dickinson University.
While leading the Express to the NJCAA D-II National Tournament for the first time since 2003-04, Scott averaged 12.4 points, 10.3 rebounds and two steals per game as a sophomore. Following the season, she was named Second Team All-Ohio Community College Athletic Conference (OCCAC). Additionally, she was named to the Region XII District I All-Tournament team.
During her sophomore campaign, Scott tied and broke the program's single game rebounding record. On Dec. 22, she pulled down 21 points, along with adding 21 points, against Mid-Michigan Community College to tie the record. Later, on Jan. 30, she pulled down 22 rebounds, along with 19 points, against Edison Community College to break the record.
In her two-year career, she averaged 10.1 points, 9.2 rebounds, 1.5 steals and one assist per game. Additionally, she totaled 584 points, 533 rebounds and 88 steals in two years.
During her freshman year, Scott was named the team's Most Improved Player after averaging 7.2 points and 7.9 rebounds per game. In the team's final game of the season, Scott had 18 points and 19 rebounds.
Scott is a graduate of Scott High School in Toledo, OH, where she averaged 12.6 points and 11.3 rebounds per game as a senior.
As a sophomore, Scott led the Express to an OCCAC title, a Region XII District I championship and a seventh place finish as the NJCAA D-II National Tournament. Additionally, the team won 28 games, just one off the single year mark for most wins in program history.
Claflin University finished 6-21 last season and advanced to the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) Tournament Quarterfinals.
