Character

Chelsea Gray is one of the most well-liked and best people to be around on and of the court.  She is the floor general on the court being the point guard and is a great role model for young girls.  Her character showed even more as a junior following her devastating knee injury that forced her to miss the final 11 games of the season.  She remained very active in practice and on the bench helping each of her teammates get better.  Gray helped the Blue Devils still advance to the NCAA Elite Eight.
