Joseph Earns PacWest Defender of the Week

PacWest Conference Weekly Awards (Feb. 13)

IRVINE, Calif. — Delivering one of the team’s best defensive performances of the year to start a four-game road swing, Academy of Art University women’s basketball freshman guard Karleigh Joseph was selected Pacific West Conference Defender of the Week. The award was based on games played Feb. 6-12.

Joseph’s breakout effort came at NDNU on Feb. 6 when she set career-highs across the board with 22 points, 11 rebounds, five assists, four blocks, and two steals. Beyond the offensive success, however, the West Palm Beach, Fla. native held the Argos’ top scorer, Marissa Caballero, to 5-for-19 shooting and rejected her shot in the final seconds of the first overtime to save the game and force a second extra period. In the Knights’ 75-64 win over Chaminade on Feb. 11, she finished with eight points, five rebounds, four assists, and two steals.

Joseph wrapped up the week averaging 15.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 2.0 blocks, and 2.0 steals per game. Over her last five games, she is averaging 2.6 steals per contest.

This is Joseph’s first career PacWest weekly honor and the second by an Urban Knights this season following junior guard Rodericka Ware and junior forward Helena Orts‘ Defender of the Week selections on Jan. 9 and Dec. 5 respectively.

How to Get An Athletic Scholarship

In order to get a college athletic scholarship, you must actively promote yourself using as many marketing venues as possible.  You cannot be recruited if the coach and/or school doesn’t know who you are.  It’s your responsibility to get the coaches attention!  Take control of the college recruiting process by being proactive.

Allow us to help you take the first step in the recruiting process by completing an online questionnaire that college coaches and scouts can use to recruit you today.

Scholarships are available at all levels and the biggest mistake athletes make is focusing exclusively on NCAA Division I schools.  Over 85% of college scholarship opportunities are available at the NCAA Division II, Division III, NAIA and NJCAA levels. By expanding your search and contacting more schools you will give yourself a better opportunity to land that coveted athletic scholarship.

Being a college athlete isn’t just about going to the biggest school. A critical question to consider when thinking about a particular school is, “would you want to go to that school if you weren’t an athlete and on scholarship?” Your athletic scholarship isn’t guaranteed each year as you may NOT know.  Be prepared to stay in school should you lose the scholarship.  Make sure you enjoy where you go to school and it fits what you are looking for in a college.

Click here to fill out an online questionnaire which you can share with college coaches, scouts, family, friends and even strangers.

“If you aren’t speaking with coaches you aren’t being recruited!”
