Antrinette Barrino was a dominant player for the Cougar women’s basketball team who excelled as a scorer and rebounder. A four-time all-CACC performer, she earned All-American and CACC Player of the Year honors twice after leading Caldwell to the national tournament in 2000 and 2002. As a senior in 2002, Barrino averaged 17.4 points and 14.2 rebounds to propel the Cougars to a 21-9 record and a spot in the NAIA Tournament. She is one of just three players in the program’s history to record 1,000 points and 1,000 rebounds, with 1,578 points and 1,192 rebounds in her career.
“I loved everything about basketball, from playing the game to the relationships we built,” Barrino said. “The court is therapeutic for me, a place for me to relax, have fun, do something I enjoy and get after it as hard as I can.”
Barrino grew up in Paterson, N.J., and attended Paterson Eastside High School. She is a kindergarten through fourth grade special education teacher at Spark Academy in Newark, N.J.
