Kate Schat is a rising Santa Clara backcourt shooter with early scoring pop
In the 2025-26 season, freshman guard Kate Schat showed she can heat up fast, including a career-high 14 points with three made 3-pointers in Santa Clara’s WCC opener and an 8-point, 3-board outing versus Cal State Stanislaus. She’s a 5'9" guard who brings perimeter spacing, shot-making confidence, and a poised role-player vibe; the kind of under-the-radar piece that can fit well in a system needing smart floor balance and reliable shooting. Her résumé also suggests a competitor with proven winning habits from a decorated prep career.
