In doubles action, Kelley claimed the ITA Atlantic Regional title and advanced to the ITA National Fall Championships where she won the consolation bracket in the prestigious event. She has been ranked as high as No. 8 nationally with freshman Sofia Munera and played most of the spring with junior Hunter Bleser. For the year, Kelley holds a 27-10 record in doubles.
Kelley earned All-ACC honors for the second consecutive season. Last year she was a third team selection after playing the three spot in the lineup.
