Villanova Athletics is proud to present the Villanova P.A.W.S program: Providing Athletes With Support. The P.A.W.S. program helps to ensure the best quality experience for Villanova student-athletes, both in the classroom and on the playing fields. Wildcat student-athletes represent the best in athletic and academic achievements, and Villanova is proud to recognize these student leaders.

This week's P.A.W.S. honors go to Wildcat sophomore forward Kelly Nash, a women's basketball standout from Fairfield, Conn., and Fairfield High School. On Sunday, Dec. 30, versus Alabama in the championship game of the PNC Wildcat Christmas Classic, Kelly scored a career-high 20 points on seven-of-10 shooting from the field and six-of-nine shooting from three-point range. The six three-pointers was also a career-high for Nash. For her performance, Nash was named to the PNC Wildcat Christmas Classic All-Tournament Team.

We congratulate Kelly on her achievements, and proudly support the Villanova P.A.W.S. program. For additional information regarding P.A.W.S., contact Villanova University at (610) 519-4605.
