• Through her lone season at SEC program Missouri in 2020-21, Cartis appeared on one match for the Tigers and did not play a part in her team's 4-0 win over Southeast Missouri State on Jan. 24.
• As a prep at York High School, Cartis amassed 102 total victories on the number-one singles line. A 2019 Illinois All-State choice, Cartis was ranked as the ninth-best player in the state that same year.
• Twice she was named her team's MVP (2019 and 2020) and the two-time team captain earned the title of York High School Female Athlete of the Year for the 2019-20 academic year.
What they're saying about Cartis
NM State head coach Emily Wang | "We are very excited to add Melissa to our roster for this coming school year. Her hard-working attitude is going to make her a leader amongst the team and she has a ton of potential that I can't wait to see as she continues to grow as a player."
