Women's basketball adds former Detroit King guard
Head coach Sue Guevara continues to add players to the 2016 Central Michigan women's basketball roster.
The Chippewas added Micaela Kelly, who is transferring from DePaul, was a First-Team All-State performer in 2016 for Detroit Martin Luther King High School.
Kelly led the Crusaders to the Class A state championship game, but ultimately came up short to Warren Cousino 67-65. She scored 34 points in the title game.
"I'm really happy that she is with us," Guevara told CMUChippewas.com on Friday. "We recruited her a couple years ago and it didn't go our way, but you never know how things are going to work out in recruiting and we're very fortunate to have her join our program."
When it came to what Kelly brings to the table, Guevara gave some positive reviews.
"She's a very quick, strong dynamic guard," she said. "She's got good range and she can stretch the defense and get to the basket. She brings some quickness and explosiveness with her ability to get to the basket off the bounce."
The Chippewas went 22-11 last season, falling in the Mid-American Conference championship game to Buffalo 73-71 in overtime.
The Chippewas made their fourth appearance in the Women's National Invitational Tournament, but lost in the first round of at home against Indiana-Purdue-Indianapolis 63-55.
CMU returns 11 players from last season's MAC West Division championship team.
