Cal Poly’s Kristina Santiago remains the standard-bearer for Mustang frontcourt toughness
Kristina Santiago is a Cal Poly legend whose game is defined by efficient scoring, elite rebounding, and relentless frontcourt production; in her 2011-12 season, she averaged 23.4 points and shot 55.5% from the field while finishing as the program’s all-time leading scorer and rebounder. She’s the kind of forward who impacts winning with physicality, touch around the rim, and nonstop intensity, and she carries extra value because she has already proven she can bounce back from a major ACL injury and still return to All-Big West, Player-of-the-Year form. If you want a steady, high-motor inside presence, she’s a yes.
