A four-year starter and a three-time Associated Press Honorable Mention All-American on the women's basketball team from 2009 through 2013, Evans is one of the greatest players to wear a Hofstra uniform. The Pride's all-time leading scorer and rebounder, Evans poured in 2,116 points during her tenure and grabbed 1,348 rebounds. She is the only Hofstra women's basketball player to score 2,000 points and is one of only two with more than 1,000 rebounds, with the other being fellow Hofstra Athletics Hall of Famer Kate Gordon. In addition to her points and rebounding marks, Evans holds the Pride record for free throws made with 529, is second in games played with 127, and ninth in blocked shots with 86. A four-time All-CAA selection, including three first team nods, Evans led the league in rebounding as a freshman and a senior, and ranks first in career rebounds and seventh in career points in CAA history. Hofstra made a pair of WNIT appearances during her tenure and averaged 18 wins per season. Evans, who is one of three Hofstra women's basketball players to have her jersey retired, has played professionally overseas for the past decade and currently plays in Poland. She has won championships in the Bulgarian League, Romanian League, Slovenian League, and the Adriatic League. Evans is also a member of the Slovenian National Team and played on the United States Pan Am Games team in 2011.
