Coach Bill Fennelly announced Thursday in a news release that two players would be leaving the ISU women’s basketball team. Sophomore Kelsey Harris and freshman Kileah Mays will not be returning next season.

“You never like to have kids leave the program, but change is often good for all involved parties,” Fennelly said in the release. “I wish them all the best in the future.”

Harris averaged 1.9 points per game over the 2011-12 season including 14 3-pointers and an 11-point outing against Texas Tech on Feb. 12. The Brea, Calif., native averaged 2.4 points per game over her Cyclone career and said she plans to find another school where she can make more of an impact.

“I want to thank the coaches and the University for giving me the opportunity to be a part of this program,” Harris said in the news release. “I’d especially like to thank the Cyclone fans, they truly are the best fans in the country. I’ve enjoyed my time here but hope to find somewhere that I can contribute more to the program.”

Mays got in eight contests this season while averaging 1.3 points and 2.0 rebounds per game.

The move also comes less than a week after coach Jack Easley announced he would be leaving later this year.
