During Karen Schell's four-year run, the Ladies basketball team compiled a combined 71-34 record, including an amazing 26-2 mark during a 1996-97 season in which Kenyon claimed its first North Coast Athletic Conference regular-season and tournament championships, as well as its first-ever berth into the NCAA Division III Tournament.

Her career numbers included 1,443 points and 925 career rebounds, a total that still stands as the program all-time record. Additionally, Schell still holds the Kenyon career records for field goal percentage (.535), free throws made (403) and blocked shots (131).

During her senior season, Schell averaged a double-double (15. 2 points and 10.0 rebounds) and was voted the 1999 NCAC Player of the Year. In 2004, the conference named her one of just 10 players to make the NCAC 20th Anniversary All-Decade Team.
