Catherine Elizabeth Joens (born February 12, 1981) is an American retired professional basketball player. She attended George Washington University and after graduating, played basketball professionally in France, Spain, and America. Joens is an advocate for balancing nutrition, a healthy lifestyle and basketball, and has had numerous speaking engagements and basketball camps promoting these three things.
Joens was taken 30th overall by the New York Liberty in the 2004 WNBA draft alongside fellow Colonial Ugo Oha who was taken 24th in the same draft by the Connecticut Sun. However, Joens was waived on May 19 as part of the final cuts shortly before the season began. She never played a game for the Liberty before moving on to play professional basketball overseas. Following her dominant stint with Pays d'Aix Basket 13 in France (Ligue Féminine de Basketball) where she ended up being the league's top scorer, on May 8, 2007, Joens signed with the Chicago Sky in the WNBA. She was waived shortly thereafter on May 24, but then signed with them again on July 5. In her first season in the WNBA, Joens averaged 5.0 points a game in 14.3 minutes a game. In 2008, with the Sky, Joens averaged 3.8 points per game in 10.5 minutes per game.
After the 2008 WNBA season, Joens signed with Baloncesto Rivas and played well, but was plagued by injuries during her time in Spain. In 2010, Joens signed with CJM Bourges Basket and asserted herself as one of the pillars of the club. In the same season, Joens was selected to the EuroLeague Women All Star game where she scored 10 points. Her third season with Borges was cut short due to an injury, but before the fracture, she was one of the best scorers for "Les Tangos," averaging 12.3 points and 3.5 rebounds in LFB and 13.7 points and 3.2 rebounds in the EuroLeague. Because of her injury, she was replaced by fellow WNBA player Marissa Coleman. During her career, Joens wore the number 11. She has not played professionally since 2014 with CJM Bourges Basket.
Joens has had numerous speaking engagements all around the globe, educating the youth about healthy living, and balancing basketball with a healthy lifestyle. She got her Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science from George Washington in 2004, Master of Public Health in Health Promotion/Disease Prevention from GWU in 2009, and Bachelor of Science in Dietetics from the University of Northern Colorado in 2013. Joens speaks Spanish and is married to her husband, Patrick.
