Sylena Peterson brings two-way grit and veteran poise to New Mexico State
Peterson is a seasoned **senior guard** whose value goes beyond scoring: in 2024-25 she appeared in all 34 games, started 22, ranked second on the team with 54 steals, and delivered multiple double-digit performances, including a 17-point game against rival New Mexico and a perfect 5-for-5 outing at UTEP. Her best fit is a team that wants a competitive perimeter defender, a steady secondary creator, and a player who can make winning hustle plays without needing the offense built around her. Sources also show a strong prep résumé and all-state recognition, reinforcing her track record as a high-intensity, reliable guard.[6][13][15]
