Carissa Sain

Assistant Women's Basketball Coach

Carissa Sain enters her third season as an assistant coach on the Tartans staff and second as fulltime assistant. Sain was a part-time assistant for the women’s program in 2005-2006 and prior to that played for the Tartans.

“Carissa is solid as an individual skill instructor, she knows her x’s and o’s and is constantly seeking better training methods for our athletes," comments Head Coach Gerri Seidl.  "She relates to the athletes because she walked the walk of a Carnegie Mellon student/athlete.”

While a player at Carnegie Mellon, Sain was a four-year starter for the Tartans and a three-time All-University Athletic Association (UAA) member. Sain became the ninth women’s basketball player in school history to score 1,000 points for her career. On the same night she scored her 1,000th point, she also became the career leader in three-point field goals made at Carnegie Mellon and recorded a career-high 29 points. She finished with 1,189 points, ranking sixth on the Carnegie Mellon all-time scoring list, and recorded 175 three-point field goals. During her junior season, Sain broke the school record for three-pointers in a season with 54.

Sain is a 2005 graduate of Carnegie Mellon University where she earned her Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering from the school of Carnegie Institute of Technology. She currently resides in Shady Side.
