INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – One of the most decorated players in Quincy University women's basketball history, Jessica Keller, has been inducted into the Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) Hall of Fame, recognizing a historic career that helped define an era of success for the Hawks.

Keller starred at Quincy from 2005–2009, leaving behind a record book filled with milestones and cementing her place as one of the greatest players ever to wear the Brown and Gold. Over four seasons, Keller established herself as the program's all-time leading scorer with 1,823 career points, a mark that still stands today. Her impact extended well beyond scoring, as she also finished her career as Quincy's all-time leader in steals (324) and free throws made (487).

A complete player on both ends of the floor, Keller ranks among the program's leaders in nearly every major statistical category. She currently sits second all-time in rebounds (842) and field goals made (624), while ranking fifth in assists (397). Her 15.4 career points per game average ranks fourth in Quincy history, highlighting her consistent offensive production throughout her career.

Keller's senior season in 2008–09 stands as one of the greatest individual campaigns in program history. She set the Quincy single-season scoring record with 641 points, a total that ranks ninth in GLVC history, while averaging a program-record 20.5 points per game. That same season, Keller also established the school record with 121 steals, a mark that ranks second all-time in GLVC history.

Her dominance was not limited to one season. Keller scored 616 points during the 2007–08 campaign, the third-highest single-season total in program history, while also recording 103 steals, which ranks among the top totals in conference history. She also recorded 148 assists in 2007–08, the third-most in a single season at Quincy, further showcasing her versatility as both a scorer and playmaker.

Keller's excellence culminated in her being named the GLVC Player of the Year in 2008–09, becoming just the third player in Quincy women's basketball history to earn the honor. She joined an elite group that includes Jessica Stuckman, who won the award in 2003–04 and 2004–05, and current Quincy head coach Ali Schwagmeyer-Belger, who earned the honor in 2010–11.

During her time with the Hawks, Keller was recognized across the conference for both her athletic and academic achievements. She earned First Team All-GLVC honors in 2008 and 2009, was named All-GLVC Honorable Mention in 2007, and received GLVC Academic All-Conference honors all four years. Keller was also selected as GLVC Player of the Week six times throughout her career.

In addition to her conference accolades, Keller received the prestigious Richard F. Scharf Paragon Award in 2009, which honors the GLVC's top male and female student-athletes who excel in the classroom, in competition, and in their communities.

Keller's impact was felt not only in the record books but also in the team's success on the court. During her four-year career, the Hawks compiled an 83–36 overall record and made three NCAA Tournament appearances, establishing Quincy as one of the conference's premier programs during that span.

Following her standout playing career, Keller transitioned into coaching, bringing the same passion and leadership to the sidelines that she displayed on the court. She has coached at multiple levels of collegiate basketball and currently serves on the women's basketball staff at the University of Nebraska. Her coaching career was recognized early when she was selected to the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) 30 Under 30 inaugural class in 2016, an honor highlighting the nation's most promising young coaches.

With her induction, Keller becomes the sixth individual from Quincy University to be enshrined in the GLVC Hall of Fame. She joins an elite group of Hawk legends that includes Josh Rabe (2007), Jessica Stuckman (2014), Torie (Bunzell) Kueker (2022), Chris Garavaglia (2025), and Becky Fleming (Rudroff) (2025). Keller is also the second Quincy women's basketball player to receive the honor, joining Stuckman, further cementing the program's legacy of producing some of the GLVC's most accomplished student-athletes.
