Senior guard Katie Farr is currently playing in her final season on the Lasell College women’s basketball team. 

Over her career to-date, Farr has played in 70 contests, starting in all but five of those games.  She averages over thirty minutes per game for her career, having played in 2,203 total minutes in the #14 Lasell uniform.

During her first season with the Lasers, Farr played in 16 games, starting in 14, before her season was cut short due to a wrist injury.  The rookie guard still managed to finish the short year with 66 points (4.1 per game), 51 rebounds (3.2 per game), 30 assists, and 19 steals. 

As a sophomore, Farr stepped into a more distinct role taking over the point guard position to become a principal threat.  In 25 contests, she averaged 7.9 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 2.8 assists per game.  She led the team in assists, was second on the team in steals, and third on the team in total points and points per game, finishing the season with 197 points, 77 rebounds, 70 assists, and 30 steals.

Last season, Farr shot a team-best 42-for-119 (35.3%) in three-point field-goal range and also produced a team-best 37 steals in 25 games.  She scored 258 total season points, averaging 10.3 points per game, and added 55 assists (2.2 per game), which was good for second on the team in both categories.  Farr also chipped in with 91 rebounds (3.6 per game).  On January 9, 2010, Farr scored her career high of 20 points in a contest against Mount Ida College.  Also in the 2009-2010 season, Farr recorded her career-best of eight rebounds in a game on February 6^th against Suffolk University.

This season, after just four games, Farr is leading the team in points (45) and points per game (11.3).  She is leading the team once again from downtown shooting 41.7% from beyond the arc (5-12) and has also contributed three rebounds per game, six assists, and four steals.   Farr led the team in total points in two of their contests this season so far, scoring 10 points against Nichols on opening night and dropping in 16 points against Western New England College on Tuesday, November 23^rd.    

In her career thus far, the senior has combined for 566 points (8.1 average), 231 rebounds (3.3 average), 161 assists (2.3 average), and 90 steals (1.28 average).   She has made 195-of-580 field goals for a career shooting percentage of .336.  She has also connected on 75 three-pointers and 101 free throws.

Why did you choose Lasell College?

Playing basketball in college was important to me as well as staying close to home.  Lasell also had my major that I wanted and I liked the small campus.

What’s your favorite memory as an athlete at Lasell?

I have had some of the most amazing teammates that I consider to be family.

Do you have any superstitions before you go into a game?

I only have a few.  On bus rides to games I have to pick a perfect seat on the right side of the bus with Brittany sitting behind me, I have to put on Chapstick before the game and at half time, I have to sit in the same spot in the locker room and when warming up I have to touch the half court line with my right foot then my left foot.

What do you do in your free time away from athletics?

Sleep.

Do you plan on continuing to play or to coach after you finish your career at Lasell?

I'm sure I will end up coaching at some point in my life.

Who has been a great influence in your life?

My parents and my cousin Jen.  They are my #1 fans, extremely supportive, offer lots of great advice and keep me motivated.

What is a little known fact about you?

I usually have two or three Chapsticks within reach at any given time.

Where do you hope to be after graduation?
I will be working towards getting my Doctor of Physical Therapy degree.
