She finished with 624 points scored, which is the 10th highest scoring total in league history.

Carnes scored 30-plus points three times and had a career-high 40 points against Brenau.

Carnes recorded 20 double-doubles, which led all of the NCAA Division II level. She also led the league in blocks and was eighth nationally in that category.
