Setting Up a Bright Future
I chose UND because of the incredible support from the community, the amazing facilities, and the large number of fans that come to every game.

Favorite Area of Campus
My favorite building on campus is O’Kelly Hall. I had many classes in the O’Kelly 61 high-tech classroom. This made it easy to collaborate with classmates and develop a greater understanding for the material.
Academic Highlight
The highlight of my academic program was earning my undergraduate degree with honors in three years. Because of this, I’ll be able to complete my graduate program and still be a student-athlete.
Community Involvement
I am the president of Student-Athletes for Inclusion and Diversity, a student-athlete group that aims to make every athlete who steps foot on our campus feel welcomed and supported. I have also been a member of Hawkademy, our student-athlete leadership program, which has taught me many lessons that I can apply to all areas of my life.
Biggest Athletic Accomplishment
In the 2022-2023 season, I set the school record and ranked second nationally in total triple doubles with six in a single season.
Future Goals
After graduation, I plan to continue my education through medical school and become a physician, possibly a surgeon.
In her free time, Elizabeth loves to spend time with her dog, Benson, a Border Collie that she adopted in April 2022.
Pledge Your Loyalty
As the costs to run top collegiate athletics programs continue to escalate, the University of North Dakota Alumni Association & Foundation and UND Athletics are working to secure the future of the programs we know and love.
