TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Indiana State head women's basketball coach Chad Killinger announced the addition of transfer Anna McKendree on Tuesday morning.
 
McKendree comes to Indiana State after spending the 2020-21 campaign at Nicholls State, the prior stop of head coach Killinger. While with the Colonels, McKendree played in 25 games, starting in seven, while averaging 10.9 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.72 steals in 29.2 minutes per game.
 
"Anna was labeled a shooter coming out of South Georgia Tech, but she proved to everybody last season that she's capable of doing more than that to contribute to a team's success," Killinger said. "She has a good basketball IQ, great feel for the game and brings competitiveness to the court that you can't help but appreciate."
 
While at Nicholls State, McKendree notched a career-high 24 points in a comeback victory over McNeese State on Mar. 3, 2021. She also recorded her first-career double-double with a 21-point, 17-rebound outing against Central Arkansas on Feb. 20, 2021. McKendree led the team in field goal percentage at 46.7 percent (93-199), three-pointers made (36) and percent (.379), assists (75) and steals (68). She also led the Southland in steals in addition to ranking 12th in the Southland in field goal percentage, eighth in three-point field goal percentage, and 11th in assists. In Southland Conference play, McKendree was the only player to rank in the top-15 in free throw percentage, points, steals and assists per game, field goal percentage and three-point field goal percentage.
 
Prior to competing at Nicholls State, McKendree spent two seasons at South Georgia Tech where she helped lead the Lady Jets to back-to-back GCAA regular-season, NJCAA Region XVII Tournament, and NJCAA District J championships. During her sophomore season, she averaged 13.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 3.2 assists while shooting 50 percent from the field and 42.4 percent from three-point range. She held top-20 national rankings in four categories: assist-to-turnover ratio (seventh), steals (12th), three-point percentage (13th), and three-pointers made (17th). At the end of her sophomore year, McKendree was named to the Georgia Collegiate Athletic Association All-Academic Team and also garnered All-Region and All-GCAA Second Team honors.
