Drew University Athletics

Kersey made his mark as an outstanding two-sport athlete for the Rangers, excelling on both the basketball and tennis courts. In basketball, he was a four-year letterman who played in every game throughout his career. He was a two-time team captain and the team MVP as a junior, when he led the team in scoring. He capped his career in style, hitting a game-winning jumper at the buzzer in his final game - a 76-74 victory at Brooklyn Poly. He finished as the fourth-leading scorer in team history at the time of his graduation and tied the school record for most field goals in a game with 16 versus Lycoming. 

In tennis, Kersey was also a four-year letterwinner who played in every match at both singles and doubles for his career. In singles, he competed primarily at the No. 1 position and posted a career record of 42-7. Kersey went undefeated in singles during his junior year, when the Rangers finished with a perfect conference record (5-0) and won the Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) North title. The team also was unbeaten (6-0) in conference play and won the MAC North during his senior year. The team MVP following his freshman and senior years, he helped Drew finish with a winning record in every season and a four-year mark of 40-9.
