Cierra Walker’s addition after a redshirt year was a vital steadiness for the Gonzaga Bulldogs. The senior left Vanderbilt after three years and came closer to her Oregon City home. Once eligible to play, Walker was instantly the Zags’ biggest threat from the perimeter.
Walker shot 40.5% on the year from outside, where she was most comfortable shooting. Walker as a perimeter threat allowed for seniors and back-to-back WCC Player of the Year winners Jill Townsend and Jenn Wirth to have more space to work into their skill sets. She served as the heir apparent to the departed Katie Campbell.
