Kea led the ACC with four games of 30 or more points last year, and was the only player in the league to record at least 30 points and 10 assists in a game when she totaled 31 points and career-high 11 assists against South Alabama.
The Greensboro, North Carolina, native enters her final collegiate season as Carolina's all-time career scoring average leader at 18.3 points per game. Kea is just the fourth UNC player to score 1,000 points in the first two seasons with the program.
