A Legacy of Excellence: Celebrating Coach Kelly Dansby
The 15-game winning streak wasn’t a product of luck; it was a product of a standard. When you look at the ’60+ PPG’ record, you aren’t just seeing talent—you’re seeing a system. Coach Kelly Dansby understood that a high-octane offense only works if the culture is high-discipline.
During the 2020–2021 season, when the team navigated an 11-2 record amidst unprecedented challenges, Dansby’s leadership was the constant. She didn’t just coach a playbook; she coached a mindset. From being named the RISD Coach of the Year to clinching her 100th career victory, the numbers simply reflect the relentless preparation she demanded. In the record books, it reads ’29-5,’ but in the gym, it felt like a masterclass in excellence.
