She teamed with freshman Katarina Su to earn all-University Athletic Association (UAA) First Team recognition for her play at third doubles, and finished the campaign with an overall doubles record of 24-14. Included in her record were marks of 8-2 with Su, and a 12-4 record in third doubles matches. In the fall, she teamed with freshman Melissa Goodman to reach the finals of the ITA Regionals, while also reaching the round of 16 of the singles draw.

After missing the fall season, Kelly returned to go 10-4 in singles action during the spring, and 17-5 in doubles matches. The junior was 16-2 when teamed with doubles partner Emma Taylor during the season, as the pair ended the campaign with 12-straight wins, including a perfect 5-0 record in NCAA Tournament matches.

Sophomore (2011-12):
Kelly finished the season with a 13-5 record in singles play and a 23-5 mark in doubles action. She earned her first career selection to the NCAA Individual Championships, as she was chosen, along with doubles partner Malavika Padmanabhan, to compete in the doubles draw. The duo was defeated in their first-round match, but still finished the season as the 22nd-ranked pairing in Division III. Kelly and Padmanabhan finished the year with a 17-3 record as the squad's second-doubles pairing. In the fall, Kelly advanced with Jordan Wylie to the finals of the doubles draw of ITA Regionals, before falling to teammates Gabrielle Clark and Zahra Dawson.
