The 5-foot-5 guard from Frisco, Texas averaged 6.2 points, 2.8 rebounds and 4.9 assists. Lay also proved to be a standout player after this past season. She was nationally ranked No. 22 in assists and during the course of the season, and she had two games with at least 10 assists.
“KK is an outstanding point guard,” NSU women’s head basketball coach Fala Suiaunoa said in a press release. “Her ability to facilitate an offense, be a scoring option when needed and play hard defensively makes her a total package. She’s got great instincts and court vision and doesn’t make a lot of mistakes. She will bring IQ and maturity to the point guard position, and we look forward to her JUCO experience helping her transition quickly into the program.”
With Lay joining the RiverHawks, her ability and her playing style add to an already impressive recruiting class. With Lay on the roster, the RiverHawks will set their sights on improving from their 6-16 record from last year.
