Oakland’s shot-blocking anchor: Brittany Carnago protected the rim at an elite level
Brittany Carnago’s calling card was unmistakable: in the 2011-12 season, she led The Summit League and finished 12th nationally with 2.9 blocks per game, and Oakland says she owns the school record with 276 career blocks. She also brought real two-way value, finishing her career with 821 points, 505 rebounds, and 216 assists, which makes her more than just a rim protector. What stands out is her intensity and defensive gravity—she changed games even when she wasn’t scoring, and that kind of paint presence is a legit fit for a team that wants toughness, verticality, and a dependable interior anchor.
