DeKALB, IL – Northern Illinois University women's basketball head coach Lisa Carlsen announced on Tuesday the addition of graduate transfer forward Emma Carter (Bristol, Vt./Franklin Pierce) for the 2022-23 season.
 
Carter, a 5'11" forward from Bristol, Vt., comes to DeKalb after a four-year career at Franklin Pierce University in New Hampshire. Last season Carter scored a career-high 17.6 points per game while shooting 42.4 percent from the field, 39.3 percent from the three-point arc and 91.7 percent from the foul line. Carter led the Ravens in scoring while earning Northeast-10 All-Conference Second Team honors.
 
"Emma will add depth to our forward position," said Carlsen. She is a versatile player who can stretch the defense, has great experience and leadership skills and will be a good fit to out program's style and culture. We can't wait to get Emma on campus!"
 
A two-time First Team All-State selection, Carter led Mount Abraham Union High School to the Vermont Division II state championship in 2018. She was a 1,000-point scorer in high school and a four-time All-League honoree. Carter was also a Second Team All-State selection in soccer her senior year.
 
Carter joins Brooke Blumenfeld (Northbrook, Ill./Glenbrook North), Tara Stauffacher (Columbus, Wis./Wisconsin), Kortney Drake (Wilton, Iowa/Kirkwood CC) and Tatiana Hodges-Johnson (Des Moines, Iowa/Kirkwood CC) as newcomers for the upcoming season.
