Cha Gardner is emerging as a high-efficiency, high-rebound frontcourt piece for SFA
Gardner has become a valuable two-way forward for Stephen F. Austin, posting 5.8 points and 4.3 rebounds per game on 49.3% shooting in 2024-25, then raising her workload to 20.9 minutes and 5.6 points per game on 55.6% shooting in 2025-26 team stats through 35 games. She stands out for her physical rebounding, efficient finishing, and willingness to do the dirty work rather than chase volume scoring; she also flashed real upside with a 20-point, 10-rebound game and a Southland Player of the Week run after back-to-back double-doubles. If you want an active, improving forward who can anchor effort and interior production, she fits. [1][2][7][8][11]
