DUKE - Michelle Van Gorp, Center, Macomb, Mich. (1997-99)
Michelle Van Gorp played just two seasons at Duke in 1997-99, but quickly became one of the ACC's best centers. Van Gorp spent her freshman and sophomore years at Purdue University playing for Lin Dunn before transferring to Duke to play her final two seasons under
Gail Goestenkors. The 6-5 center earned 1999 NCAA Final Four All-Tournament team honors after helping lead the Blue Devils to their first Final Four. In two years at Duke, Van Gorp played in 68 contests, starting 58. Van Gorp averaged 16.9 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.0 blocks as a senior, while hitting 62.0 percent of her field goals. Over her career, she averaged 13.9 points, 4.8 rebounds and blocked 58 shots. She was a 1999 third team Associated Press and Kodak All-American and a First Team All-ACC honoree. Following her collegiate career, Van Gorp became the first Blue Devil drafted in the WNBA when the New York Liberty selected her in the second round of the 1999 WNBA Draft. She played six seasons in the WNBA with three teams and played internationally in France, Greece, Italy, Russia and Spain. Van Gorp graduated from Duke in 1999 and is currently on head coach
Joanne P. McCallie's staff as the Blue Devils' Director of Women's Basketball Recruiting Operations.
