Riley Walden is emerging as a high-impact two-way freshman guard for Willamette
Walden has quickly become a difference-maker for Willamette, including a dominant Jan. 23-24, 2026 weekend when she averaged 20.0 points and 10.5 rebounds while shooting 56% from the field and 69% from three across two wins. She brings rare guard production on the glass, efficient scoring, and enough passing and rim activity to influence the game beyond the box score. The standout trait is her all-around physicality and energy; if you need a versatile, competitive backcourt piece who can score, rebound, and swing momentum, she fits.
