Kayla Standish was a paint-dominant, high-efficiency force for Gonzaga
In the 2011-12 season, Kayla Standish was a matchup problem for Gonzaga: a 6-2 forward from Ellensburg who could score efficiently inside, rebound at a high level, and deliver consistent double-double impact. Gonzaga’s own coverage described her as a player who had “broken out” after moving into a starting role, with strong field-goal efficiency and multiple 20-point outings. The key reason to care? She brought proven production, physicality, and a reliable interior presence—exactly the kind of veteran forward that steadies a contender. As a fit, she reads as an old-school, low-drama, high-utility frontcourt piece with serious toughness.
