CARROLLTON, Ga. - The sun has set on 2023-24 Division II women's basketball season, and University of West Georgia sophomore center K'Nari Holliday has been named the Statistical Champion, leading all of Division II in field goal percentage at 61.7 percent clip.
After the conclusion of the National Championship last weekend, the NCAA released final stats this week, and no one was better from the field in 2023-24 than Holliday.
The Apopka, Florida native made 150 field goals in 243 attempts, leading the country by shooting 61.7 percent from the field, edging out Zoe Miller of Ashland by 0.5 percentage points. Holliday ended her first season in the red and the blue by averaging 11.8 points and 7.1 rebounds per game.
In the final season of Division II for UWG, Holliday becomes just the third player in UWG women's basketball history to be named NCAA Statistical Champion. It's been 35 years since the last one for UWG as Lisa Blackmon-Phillips led Division II in three-pointers made per game in 1988 (3.7) and 1989 (4.8). Lisa McGhee also won a Statistical Champion honor by leading the country in free throw percentage (89.0) in 1985.
As a team, UWG finished their Division II tenure by going 16-13 overall in 2023-24 and Holliday was second on the team in points and rebounds while recording eight double-doubles.
