Biography

Working her way up through the junior ranks at Bulleen Boomers , Garrick played for Vic Country at the U16 and U18 AJC's before grabbing a spot with Bendigo Spirit in the WNBL as a 17-year-old.

She earned gold at the Australian Youth Olympic Festival in 2009 and although she only played in three games, gained valuable experience at the 2011 U19 World Championships where Australia finished fourth. [1] [ circular reference ]

Back in the WNBL, Garrick made the move to the AIS where she received more court time and honed her skills. She returned to the Spirit in 2012 and was a part of back-to-back Championships in 2012–13 and 2013–14.

Closing in on 100 SEABL matches, the two-guard had a breakout season in 2014 and averaged 19 points, seven rebounds, and two assists to earn the MVP. Since 2015, Garrick has represented the Melbourne Boomers where her point production has rapidly increased to average double-figures in scoring over the past two seasons. [2]

She has also shot at least 37% from the three-point line and her form earned her a spot with the Australian Opals at the FIBA Women's Asia Cup in 2017 when they won the silver medal. [3]

Career

Bendigo Spirit

Prior to playing for Australian Institute of Sport, she played for the Bendigo Spirit. Her first WNBL game was with the Spirit when she was part of the squad for the 2009/2010 season opener against the Dandenong Rangers. She has committed to play for the Lady Braves during the 2012 SEABL season. [4]

Australian Institute of Sport

In a 16 October 2010 loss to the Canberra Capitals, she was the Australian Institute of Sport's second leading scorer with ten points. [5] In a 24 November 2010 game against the Canberra Capitals, she was second on the team in scoring. [6]

Melbourne Boomers

Garrick, the two-time Championship winner in her fourth season with the Boomers, celebrated her 200th WNBL game when she stepped on the court for the Deakin Melbourne Boomers against Sydney at the State Basketball Centre.

Career abroad

Garrick played for clubs in several countries throughout her professional career, including Botaş SK in Turkey in 2019, before returning to Melbourne Boomers and Bendigo Spirit in Australia until 2022, [7] followed by Pallacanestro Valdarno and Brixia Basket in Italy, Libertadores de Querétaro and Adelitas de Chihuahua in Mexico, and Charnay in France. [8]

Garrick was engaged to Australian influencer Sophie Cachia in 2022. [9]
