TAHLEQUAH -- Head Women's Basketball coach Fala Suiaunoa announced Kailyn "KK" Lay has signed her NLI to play for NSU in 2021-22.
 
The 5-5 point guard from Frisco, Texas, will transfer from Coffeyville Community College in Kansas. In two seasons with the Red Ravens she helped the team go 40-14. This season Lay helped the team go 15-7 and qualify for the NJCAA Region 6 quarterfinals. She averaged 6.2 points, 2.8 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 2.2 steals. Lay finished the year ranked 22nd nationally in assists per game and had two games with at least 10 assists.
 
"KK is an outstanding point guard," Suiaunoa said. "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." 
 
Lay is the fourth Texan on the 2021-22 roster and played on the same AAU team as forward Zaria Collins.
