TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (Seminoles.com) – Florida State redshirt senior forward Kiah Gillespie picked up her second All-America honor since the 2019-20 season ended. On Monday she was selected as an honorable-mention All-American by the United States Basketball Writers Association.
The Meriden, Conn., native was named an All-American last week by the Associated Press, with more organizations still announcing awards this week as well. She is also a Top 5 finalist for the Katrina McClain Award, which is given to the nation’s top power forward.
In just two playing seasons with Florida State, Gillespie averaged 15.9 points, 9.0 rebounds and shot 43.8 percent from the floor. She tallied 25 career double-doubles in just 65 career games played with FSU.
Gillespie was also named to the All-ACC First Team for the second straight year, and was added to the ACC All-Tournament First Team after helping FSU to the ACC Championship Game vs. NC State.
In her outstanding senior year, the All-American finished with nine 20-point games, 15 10-rebound games as well as 12 double-doubles.
Gillespie also finished in the Top 10 in ACC play in scoring (15.6), rebounding (7.7), field goal percentage (44.2) and defensive rebounds (5.7).
