Sam Pettinger brought two-way glue-girl value for Pacific
In her senior season for Pacific, Sam Pettinger was a steady, low-drama guard who started all 31 games and added efficient perimeter shooting, defensive activity, and playmaking—scoring 149 points, hitting 23 threes at a .343 clip, and posting 55 assists plus 25 steals. She was also durable and dependable, finishing as Pacific’s all-time leader in games played (128). Her value is versatility: she can space the floor, help move the ball, and create extra possessions, making her a fit for teams that need a smart, gritty connector rather than a pure volume scorer.
