Krystal Ellis, despite being one of the more explosive scorers nationally, is also one of the least talked about players. Seriously, if Ellis' name were to appear in a dictionary, it would be on the page that features the term 'underrated.' Marquette has never really been known as a women's basketball power, but since Ellis arrived, they've been making noise. Since her arrival, The Golden Eagles have been on the fast track to success. Marquette is coming off of a WNIT title and two years ago, Marquette made the NCAA Tournament, eventually falling to Oklahoma. Ellis has had some memorable scoring performances, including putting down 31 against a Top 25 Wisconsin, and 40 on Kentucky in the WNIT. But while numbers are nice, Ellis has more on her mind. "It'll be exciting to break the record but I'm more focused on winning a national championship, actually," Ellis said. "I'm really excited about getting back to the NCAA tournament again, because that's the biggest goal of all. I can set all the records and everything, but I just want to win." Now a senior, Krystal has had to step in as a leader, something that has not always come naturally to her. But still, Ellis has had quite a part in Marquette's history. She will go down as one of the better players to ever play there, and hopefully she'll get the national credit she deserves.
