Early life and career

Shelley was born on 13 May 2000 to Phil and Carolyn Shelley, in Traralgon, Victoria. [2] [3] She grew up in Moe, Victoria, [4] playing basketball, netball and soccer and competing in the high jump before deciding to focus on basketball. [5] Shelley competed for her state team Victoria Country at the youth level and was named captain of the under-16 team in 2015. [6] In her youth career, she also played for the Moe Meteors of the Country Basketball League, [7] and the Southern Peninsula Sharks. [6] In 2017, Shelley led Victoria Country to its first under-18 national title since 2000, recording 13 points and five rebounds in the final. [8] She attended Berwick Secondary College in Berwick, Victoria, and led its team to two Victorian College Championships in 2018, including one at the 3x3 tournament. [9]

After debuting for the Southern Peninsula Sharks in the Big V in 2015, [10] Shelley moved to Canberra in 2016 to train full-time at the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS). [11] She played for the BA Centre of Excellence in the South East Australian Basketball League (SEABL) in 2016 and 2017. [10] She returned to the Southern Peninsula Sharks for the 2018 Big V season, where she averaged 17.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 3.6 steals per game. [10] She subsequently earned Big V All-Star Five honours. [12]

On 16 March 2018, Shelley signed an amateur contract with the Melbourne Boomers of the Women's National Basketball League (WNBL) for the 2018–19 season. [13] After helping the Boomers reach the semifinals, she was named WNBL Rookie of the Year. [14] She received the Basketball Victoria Junior Female Athlete of the Year award for 2018. [15]

On 4 March 2019, Shelley signed with the Geelong Supercats of the NBL1 for the 2019 season. [16] She averaged 10.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game, [17] helping her team achieve a runner-up finish. [18]

Recruiting

Shelley was considered a three-star recruit and 28th-best point guard in the 2019 high school class by ESPN. [19] She was encouraged to play college basketball in the United States because her brother, Luke, had enjoyed the experience. [20] In October 2018, Shelley committed to Oregon over offers from Oregon State and Nebraska. She was drawn to Oregon by its facilities and culture, with many international players on the team, and felt that the program would prepare her for a professional career. [5] [21]

College career

Oregon

As a freshman at Oregon in 2019–20, Shelley was a backup to Sabrina Ionescu and served as a three-point specialist. [22] On 16 December 2019, she made her first career start with Satou Sabally not playing. During the game, Shelley scored a season-high 32 points and set a program single-game record with 10 three-pointers in an 84–41 win over UC Riverside. [23] She helped Oregon win regular season and tournament championships in the Pac-12 Conference. [24] Her team was among the favourites to win the 2020 NCAA tournament, which was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [25] She played in all 33 games, averaging 6.3 points, 1.5 assists and 1 rebound per game. [24] She was selected to the Pac-12 All-Freshman honorable mention. [26] In May 2020, she was named Basketball Victoria Junior Female Athlete of the Year for her second time. [27]

As a sophomore in 2020–21, Shelley was expected to replace Ionescu as a starting point guard but struggled in her new role, playing fewer minutes despite starting in half of her appearances. [28] [29] On 1 January 2021, Shelley scored a season-high 13 points in a 92–69 victory over USC. [30] She averaged 4 points, 1.9 assists and 1.7 rebounds per game. After the season, Shelley entered the transfer portal. [28] She made the decision because coaches and players with whom she had a close relationship had left the program. [20]

On 13 April 2021, Shelley announced that she would transfer to Nebraska. [31] She had also considered Iowa State and professional options in Australia. Shelley chose Nebraska because of her relationship with the coaching staff and to play alongside her longtime friend, Isabelle Bourne. [20] She immediately assumed a leading role and made an all-around impact. [4] On 20 November, she registered the fourth triple-double in program history, with 14 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists in 20 minutes, helping her team defeat North Carolina Central, 113–58. [32] In her next game on 26 November, Shelley scored 30 points and shot 8-of-9 from the field in a 65–53 win over Drexel. [33] In the first round of the 2022 Big Ten tournament, she scored 32 points and made a program-record nine three-pointers, tied for most in tournament history, in a 92–74 win over Illinois. [34] Shelley averaged 13.1 points, 6.3 rebounds and 5 assists per game in the 2021–22 season. [35] She was named second-team All-Big Ten and was a media selection for the All-Defensive Team. She led her team in scoring, assists, steals and blocks. [2]

On February 15, 2023, Shelley scored a career-high 37 points, including 17 in the fourth quarter, in a 95–92 loss to Minnesota. [36] She averaged 14.5 points, 6.2 assists and 4.8 rebounds per game as a senior in 2022–23, earning first-team All-Big Ten honors [37] from the league's coaches and second-team honors from the media.[ citation needed ]

Shelley opted to return for her fifth season of eligibility, which was granted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [37] She averaged 13.4 points, 5.7 assists and 4.3 rebounds and 1.6 steals during the 2023–24 season and earned a spot on the Big Ten All-Tournament Team after setting Huskers' tournament records for points, assists and made 3-pointers. She finished her career fourth in Nebraska history in made 3-pointers and as of 2024, was the only player to have recorded two triple-doubles. [38]
