FAIRFAX, Va. – George Mason University women's basketball head coach Vanessa Blair-Lewis has announced the addition of Marist transfer Trey Kennedy for the 2022-23 season.
 
Kennedy, a 5-foot-8 guard, brings leadership and championship experience to the Patriots, appearing in 68 games over three seasons with Marist. They helped the Red Foxes win the 2021 MAAC Women's Basketball Championship, earning an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.

"Trey will be a welcomed addition to our backcourt," said Blair-Lewis. "They are a leader on and off the floor and will be extremely exciting to watch as they are a lock down defender. Their defensive intensity is infectious. They have a championship mentality, a competitive spirit and phenomenal work ethic."
 
During their time at Marist, Kennedy garnered All-MAAC accolades and was a two-time MAAC All-Academic selection. They had 478 points, 166 rebounds and 95 assists in her career. 
 
Kennedy was second on the team in both scoring and rebounding in 2021-22, averaging 10.6 points and 4.3 rebounds per outing. They posted 11 double-digit scoring performances, including a season-high 18 points twice, hitting the mark against Fairfield (Dec. 18) and Quinnipiac (Feb. 24).  
 
Kennedy's sophomore season was highlighted by All-MAAC Third Team accolades. They were tied for second on the team with 11 games of 10-or-more points. They averaged 9.7 points per game, including 10.7 points during the 2021 MAAC Championships. They finished the season ranked sixth in the MAAC in three-point field goal percentage (.376).
 
They scored a career-high 26 points against Fairfield on Jan. 16, 2021, finishing 5-of-7 from three-point range. They were the first Marist player since 2019 to make five three-pointers in a single game.
 
Kennedy gained valuable playing experience as a freshman, appearing in 26 games. 
 
A native of Binghamton, N.Y., Kennedy helped lead their high school to the state championship in 2017-18. They were named MVP of the state Final Four as well as Federation MVP and Class B Player of the Year. Twice during their high school career, they won the Section 4 Championship and were named All-Division.
