A New Chapter for a Rising Star
Quinzia Fulmore, the former Elon University standout, has officially signed with the Charlotte Crown, marking the team's entry into the newly formed UPSHOT League. The move comes as the league prepares for its debut season this spring, featuring franchises such as the Jacksonville Waves, Savannah Steel and Greensboro Groove.
Fulmore's collegiate career was marked by efficiency and durability. She shot 53 percent from the field during the 2025-26 campaign, pulled down 109 defensive rebounds and reached the 600‑rebound milestone, while also scoring in double figures on eleven occasions. Her highest single‑game output reached 28 points, a career best that underscored her scoring versatility.
The Charlotte Crown will open its schedule on May 15 with a road game in Jacksonville, Florida, before hosting its first home contest at Bojangles Coliseum on May 21. The league's inaugural slate will showcase a mix of regional rivalries, with the Crown aiming to quickly establish a competitive presence.
Elon University, where Fulmore honed her skills, continues to be a pipeline for talent, as evidenced by her statistical leadership in field‑goal percentage and defensive rebounds. The university's athletic department welcomed the signing as a testament to the program's growing influence.
The UPSHOT League, backed by a roster of investors and broadcast partners, positions itself as a fresh alternative in professional basketball, blending competitive play with community engagement. Its official website, upshotleague.com, will provide live updates, schedules and ticket information for fans eager to follow the new season.
