Cartaino became the first student-athlete from Chaminade to earn repeat selections, as well as the first Silversword to earn first-team honors.

With a 3.83 undergraduate GPA, Cartaino earned his bachelor’s degree in accounting last May. He is taking graduate courses, in which he holds a 3.50 GPA.

Cartaino also repeated as an All-PacWest Conference first-team selection. He wrapped up his college eligibility as this season’s leading PacWest scorer, averaging 20.8 points per game, the only PacWest player to average over 20. He also shot 55.2% from the field, fourth-best in the PacWest.
