seasoned NAU wing who brings shooting touch, toughness, and veteran poise
Katie Schafer has been described by Northern Arizona as a smart, tough, hungry veteran who can stretch the floor and help in big moments; in the 2008 season outlook, NAU coach Laurie Kelly highlighted her mentality and willingness to do whatever the team needs, and Schafer had previously averaged 5.2 points per game with 31% three-point shooting in her junior season after returning from a meniscus tear[1]. Her value is less about flashy volume and more about reliable spacing, competitive edge, and trustworthiness in pressure spots—useful traits if a team wants a versatile guard/forward who can fit into multiple roles[1][7].
