Kelly played 14 games for the Yellow Jackets, and while she was initially brought in as a defender, her skills quickly allowed her role to grow as she played all around the field. She scored a pair of goals, one each against Holy Family and New Haven, with the goals both being the decisive tallies in those contests. The Yellow Jackets earned six shutouts in the 14 games Kelly participated in.
Kelly's selection is AIC's third All-Rookie nod in four seasons; Sara Avery earned a selection in 2023, while Rachel Newman was picked to the team in 2021.
Overall, 13 Yellow Jackets have garnered All-Rookie accolades for women's soccer since the award was first given following the 2009 season.
