Maris Kate Payseur Brings Grit, Shooting Touch, and Guard Instincts to SWU
In the 2025-26 season, Maris Kate Payseur gave Southern Wesleyan a steady guard presence, appearing in 12 games and shooting .222 from the field and .214 from three while ranking among the team’s leaders in assists with 11. Her game profile is a classic pesky guard package: quick hands, willingness to take the tough shot, and enough competitiveness to stay involved on both ends. She also has a comeback edge after missing most of her junior year in high school due to a serious injury, which adds real value for a team that wants toughness, resilience, and bench energy.
