In the spring of 2019, Cierra Walker made a decision that paid big dividends for Gonzaga. The southpaw guard elected to transfer away from Vanderbilt University, at a time before transfer waivers were not handed out like candy, and return home to the PNW and play for Lisa Fortier.
Three years later, including one redshirt season, Walker closed the book on her collegiate career with consecutive appearances in the NCAA Tournament, including a second round appearance this season. Those tournament appearances, and the 50 wins that Walker contributed to during her two seasons in the starting lineup, hopefully validated that 2019 decision for Walker who only experienced 14 wins combined in her final two years at Vanderbilt before making the move to Spokane.
