Peyton Gardner brings steady guard play and senior leadership to Willamette
Peyton Gardner is a **senior guard** for Willamette who has shown a compact, do-the-little-things profile early in the 2025-26 season, posting 3 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 assists in 21 minutes in her opener while knocking down a three and avoiding turnovers. She looks like a low-usage connector rather than a volume scorer: reliable enough to handle the ball, defend with discipline, and fit into a team-first system. The key appeal is maturity, versatility, and a steady floor—useful if you want a guard who complements, rather than dominates, a lineup.[1]
