Athlete Highlight: Karisa Cantu


Senior guard Karisa Cantu has been a powerhouse in TLU women’s basketball since she started out earning ASC West Freshman of the Year for 2011-2012. The San Antonio native was also recently named the SCAC Player of the Week and is the second leading scorer on her team. I was able to ask her a couple questions about her game.



Q: What made this particular season so good for you?

A: This season has been good for me because it's my senior year. Every game I go out & play my hardest knowing it's almost over for me.



Q: What was your best game this season? What was the worst? Why?

A: It’s hard to look back and say this was my best or worst game because there's times where I may not score as much, but I had more assists. And my worst game, I prefer not to look back at not so good games. I try to completely forgot about those.



Q: What do you tend to do differently or more than others that makes you successful?

A: I think what makes me different from others is how much I study the game. I enjoy watching any level basketball or getting on YouTube to watch certain players and always learning something.



Q: What is satisfying about your sport?

A: Basketball can be satisfying for me because it has always been a way to get away and relieve stress. It has also always been something I truly always enjoy doing when sometimes there's nothing else.



Q: If you could change one rule about basketball what would it be?

A: If I could change one rule about basketball I would change the jump ball call at any level other than NBA. I think we should do a jump ball just like the NBA does it and get put in a tip off situation also.



Make your way to the women’s and men’s championship games tomorrow, Friday Feb 20 at 6pm and 8pm.
