Carissa Garcia brings veteran shot-making and steady two-way guard play to NKU
Carissa Garcia is a proven Northern Kentucky guard whose best calling card is perimeter scoring: in the 2020-21 season, she averaged 8.3 points per game, shot 33.3% from three, and had a 22-point outburst against Milwaukee, showing she can heat up fast when the offense needs a spark[1][6]. She’s a compact, scrappy 5-5 guard with experience, a feel for the game, and enough shooting gravity to stretch defenses[1]. For a team needing a confident floor spacer who’s been through league play and can punish overhelping, Garcia is a solid, savvy fit[4][9].
