Evie Caruso brings size, rim protection, and blue-collar energy to SEMO’s front line
Caruso is a 6-foot-2 sophomore forward for Southeast Missouri State from Cape Girardeau who arrived with a strong high-school résumé as a multi-time all-conference pick and district player of the year. In her senior season at Saxony Lutheran, she averaged 13.7 points, 9.5 rebounds, and 3.2 blocks, flashing the kind of interior presence that changes shots and possessions. What makes her interesting is the combo of local-rooted toughness, rebounding, and defensive upside — the sort of forward who can quietly tilt a game with effort plays and physicality.
