Standing out as a dynamic long guard, Kennedi brings a versatile scoring arsenal to the court. She can hurt defenses in multiple ways—whether it's posting up smaller guards, knocking down three-pointers with confidence, or attacking the basket, which is her strongest weapon. Her relentless ability to get downhill makes her a constant threat in the half-court and in transition. A true two-way player, she thrives on the defensive end with quick hands and feet, consistently creating steals, deflections, and even blocks from the perimeter. Her defensive instincts and hustle help set the tone for her team. Offensively, she shines in transition, running the floor hard and making plays for herself and others.Over her four-year collegiate career, she eclipsed the 1,000-point mark and finished among the top 10 scorers in the Mid-American Conference, a testament to her consistency and impact. But beyond the stats, what sets her apart is her leadership. She’s a high-energy teammate who uplifts everyone around her, pushing others to grow while always staying locked in. Whether it’s making the extra pass, clapping it up on the bench, or taking over when needed—she brings it every time she steps on the floor.
