Hi! My name is Evelyn (or Evy as I’m called by family and friends) Iacono. I live in Cincinnati, Ohio about four hours south of Cleveland. Growing up as the youngest of 4 I’ve had to hold my own. My very tight knit family also had many opinions on the dizzying question of where I should spend my college years.
I decided to attend Case after checking out several schools and basketball programs. My first campus impression was one which highlighted the quality of academic programs, not too surprising considering it’s reputation in academic circles. I was also very excited about the enthusiastic basketball staff and team who are focused on being competitive. After meeting Coach Reimer, Coach Blade, and the rest of the team I felt the team dynamic was right for me. I loved the family aspect of the team where one can tell everyone cares for each other. And of course the academic reputation helped make the decision of Case Western that much easier.
After all the pieces fell into place for where I would be spending the next four years of my life, I had to decide what I should do for the rest of my life! As of now I am going into biology with the hopes of becoming an exotic animal vet taking care of everything from horses to elephants. This summer I was fortunate enough to work with a horse vet where I was able to observe surgeries, grind teeth, and of course shovel horse manure. I also took care of our two horses Rocky and Extreme.

I took a break with a trip out west with family. There we saw the incredible Grand Canyon and made our way up to the Rocky Mountains in Estes Park. Other than that I have been enjoying my summer with friends and family. I’m looking forward to the next chapter at Case Western and competing for a Spartan Championship!
