TROY, Alabama – Troy women's basketball senior Ashley Beverly Kelley has been named a second team Preseason Mid-Major All-American by CollegeSportsMadness.com. The website has also selected Beverly Kelley to the Preseason All-Sun Belt first team.
A native of Adamsville, Ala., Beverly Kelley was the second leading scorer in the Sun Belt last season at 17.6 points per game. In conference games, she averaged 19.8 points per game to lead the league.
Beverly Kelley was named a third team Mid-Major All-American and a first team All-Sun Belt selection following last season, making her the first Trojan with two all-conference selections by her junior season since 1998-99.
The guard scored in double figures in 27 of Troy's 31 games, including a career-high 46 points in Troy's win at Georgia Southern, which tied for the most points scored by a Division I player nationwide last season.
In addition to leading the Trojans in scoring, Beverly Kelley also posted a team-high 86 assists and ranked second on the team with a career-high 71 steals. Beverly Kelley finished the season ranked in the Sun Belt's top 10 in scoring, assists, steals, 3-point percentage and free throw percentage.
As one of two seniors on Troy's 2015-16 team, Beverly Kelley looks to lead the Trojans to an improvement on last season's 20-11 overall record, 15-5 Sun Belt mark and WBI first round appearance.
The 20-win season and postseason appearance were the first for the program in nearly 20 years while the third place finish in the Sun Belt standings was a new program best.
Beverly Kelley and the Trojans first take to the court at Trojan Arena for an exhibition game against Stillman on Thursday, Nov. 5. They open the regular season at home against West Alabama on Friday, Nov. 13.
