What's your biggest strength as a player, and how does it show up in games?
I am a great shooter from all ranges with a quick release shot. I am also committed to tough defense, boxing out, and grabbing boards. With my 5’11” wingspan I am able to play much longer than my height.
What are you working to improve right now?
I am practicing every day working on ball handling and shooting. I go to Gritworks 3 to 4 times a week to work on strength training and agility. I am always searching for ways to get better.
What are you looking for in a college program?
I want to play for a program where the team plays for each other unselfishly, and where everybody is committed to work hard on both ends of the court.
Outside of your sport, what should coaches know about you?
I care about fostering healthy friendships and relationships with people. I have three younger siblings and supportive parents, and I feel fortunate to be surrounded by great people.
What do you want to study, and what career interests you?
I am most interested in biological sciences and curious about a pre-medicine program. I have taken a ton AP classes and have worked hard and done well. I’m looking to be at a school that challenges me academically, and prepares me well for life after college basketball.

Kiesau played with a high IQ all day. She has a feel for off-ball movement and loves to cut backdoor behind ball-watching defenders. She has textbook shot mechanics and makes you pay if you leave her open behind the arc or in the mid-range. With the ball in her hands, she is a decisive player who attacks gaps. She is a well rounded player, and I trust anyone who plays AAU with the Blazers.
Carli will be a main part of this Squalicum offense during the upcoming season. She can run the point guard position well or even play off ball on the wing, using her high IQ to find open spots in the opposing defense. She has a smooth jumper and great change of pace skills when handling the ball.
Carli is a top player in the Northwest Conference and is poised for a big breakout year for the Storm. Carli has solid size and uses it well on both sides of the court. She shot the ball well and played elite defense all day long.
