GREENSBORO, N.C. – North Carolina guard Deja Kelly has capped a standout weekend with Atlantic Coast Conference Women's Basketball Player of the Week honors, the league announced on Monday.
Kelly averaged 23 points, six rebounds and 5.5 assists per game as UNC beat No. 18 Oregon and No. 5 Iowa State to win the championship at the Phil Knight Invitational. Kelly was honored as the PKI MVP as the Tar Heels staged a pair of late comebacks to take the title.
In Thursday's 85-79 win against the Ducks, Kelly scored 17 points, matched her season high with seven assists, and turned the ball over just once in 39 minutes of play.
