During the Northwood team camp, Keefer stood out as the top player for the class of 2025. She consistently demonstrated control when handling the ball, had excellent court vision, and displayed strong passing skills. Additionally, she aggressively pursued offensive rebounds, creating more scoring chances for her team. Her performance at the camp showed that she will fit right in when she starts playing at Northwood.

Karie came up for day two of camp after a long tournament in Kentucky and brought her best basketball with her. Karie pushed the ball in transition after a steal, crossed over her defender and converted the contested layup. She blocked a shot in the paint, used a smooth euro-step to score off the dribble, and nailed a wing 3. Karie finishes with excellent footwork on her drives and is successful at getting the advantage with her body to create scoring angles.

Keefer is simply a bucket! She can score the ball in various ways. She is a good shooter, and she excels at driving into the lane and finishing with a variety of moves at the rim. I believe she has the ability to elevate the performance of players around her, and a significant part of that is her passing skills. Northwood is acquiring an outstanding player.
