Carolyn began playing basketball in the 6th grade as even in her youth she
was quite tall. She was influenced by her family & her older brother Dan &
was later approached by her school's coach Julie Grim, a six foot five inch woman
who later became her mentor, also convinced her to play. Already standing above
six feet & having played all other sports prior, Carolyn eagerly agreed to
try a new adventure. She played for the North Tartan AAU team that won nationals
& earned the Sporting News Top Student Athletes in the Country among other
numerous awards. Carolyn claims she began playing basketball not to justify her
height of six foot six inches, but to express her soul & who she was on the
inside.
She totalled 2,040 points & 1,360 rebounds in four years, while
shooting 62.0 from the field & 50.0 from three-point range. As a senior, Moos
averaged 19 points, nine rebounds, four assists & four blocks per game. She
graduated from Blake School in 1997.
Carolyn attended Stanford University where
she earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology & Communications & played
on its women's basketball team. She graduated in 2001 with the honors of becoming

8.5 ppg & 4.5 rpg in 111 career games with the Cardinal & finished as
Stanford's 23rd all-time leading scorer (944 points) & the 20th all-time leading
rebounder (497). Her 110 blocked shots ranked 10th on the Pacific-10 Conference's
all-time list. As a junior, Moos got a honorable mention All-Pac 10 after leading
Stanford with 12.4 ppg & 5.5 rpg.
She played for the USA Basketball &
won a gold medal at the Jr. Olympics in Brazil.
Her performances on the court
were often praised, as for a tall player she could run the floor extremely well
& quick. She also had an outstanding shooting range for a player of her height.
In
2001, she was drafted to the Phoenix Mercury & later in the year, Carolyn
played overseas in France in the FIBA for the 2001-2002 season. In the 2002 WNBA
season she played for the Miami Sol but her career would ultimately be short lived.
She appeared in only two games before quietly being released on July 1. Her pro
career lasting a little over a year.
Since her departure from the WNBA Carolyn
