When Payton Muma committed to Gonzaga University to play basketball out of high school, it came to the surprise of many. With her family ties to the University of Wyoming and an offer from the Cowgirls after a highly successful prep campaign at Highlands Ranch High School, all roads seemed to take her to Laramie.
Instead, she decided to take a detour to Spokane, Washington to play for the prestigious Bulldogs at Gonzaga.
“I really loved the culture there and I loved that they would sell out almost all their games,” Muma said of her decision to commit and play at Gonzaga.
