Cherry was named the ICCAC Defensive Player of the Year. Her impact was felt on a national scale throughout the season as she led the ICCAC and ranked third overall in the NJCAA with a staggering 84 rejections. Cherry was a consistent force on the glass, ranking fourth in the conference with 281 total rebounds for an average of 9.7 per game. One of her most defining performances in a Tiger uniform came on Dec. 17 against NIACC, where she recorded a season-high six blocks.
For her defensive dominance and contributions of 6.7 points per game, Cherry was also selected to the ICCAC All-Region Third Team. Her transition to the NAIA level and the Great Plains Athletic Conference (GPAC) marks the next chapter of a standout career defined by athleticism and competitive drive. The MCC athletic department and the entire campus community congratulate Kenijae on her signing and wish her continued success at Mount Marty University.
