23 February 2019
The Mystics defender will lead her side in the ANZ Premiership, taking over from Anna Harrison as captain who has retired.
Karaka says looking at the other players on the team, she was a bit surprised to be selected by coach Helene Wilson.
She says there's others who are capable of the role, but it's awesome to know she has the backing of the team.
All six teams play their respective competition openers tomorrow.
