Alli Stidham is Gardner-Webb’s two-way ace with postseason-level impact
Stidham brings rare value as a right-handed pitcher who also contributes at the plate, earning Big South Player of the Week in 2025 after a two-way surge and later NFCA First Team All-Region honors in 2026 following a strong senior season. She stands out for competitive toughness, workhorse value, and versatility—exactly the kind of player who can stabilize a rotation while adding offense. Gardner-Webb’s own releases and D1 Softball recognition point to a high-impact, big-game profile rather than a stat-padding one, making her a strong fit for teams that want an experienced, battle-tested centerpiece.
