Kelly is the second straight Bowdoin University Polar Bear to earn Player of the Year, following former teammate Kate Kerrigan who was recognized in 2018. Kelly’s accolade also marks the sixth time a Bowdoin player has been honored overall, joining Lora Trenkle (2002 & 2004), Eileen Flaherty (2007), Shanon Brady (2016) and Kerrigan. Kelly, who led Bowdoin at 14.7 points per game this season, ranks in the top ten in the NESCAC in points, three-pointers, field goal percentage and steals this winter. She saw double-figures in 23 of 27 games and surpassed 1,000-point mark on Jan. 19 vs. Colby. Her 1,162 points rank seventh at Bowdoin and her 134 three-pointers are fifth in program history.
