At the conclusion of the 2019-20 season, Braxton put an exclamation point on an outstanding career in the Blue and Gold having played in a school-record 125 games, including 56 as a starter. And, along with Madeline Smith and Oliana Squires, the trio became MSU’s all-time winningest class with 82 victories.
A two-time all-Big Sky Conference academic selection, Braxton played a major role in guiding the Bobcats to a 25-6 overall mark and a record-setting 19-1 ledger in league play this winter. Braxton bookend her career with a pair of league titles, helping the Bobcats to the 2017 Big Sky crown and MSU’s first NCAA tournament appearance in 24 years as a freshman.
Braxton finished her career fourth all-time in blocks and tenth in rebounding. And, along with Smith, became the top rebounding duo in program history as the tandem combined for 1,362 boards. Braxton came off the bench to average 5.1 points and 5.6 rebounds per game over the course of her four-year tenure. In her final two seasons, she shot an impressive 56.1% from the field. Braxton was instrumental in MSU’s two victories at this season’s Big Sky Tournament, averaging 10 points and five rebounds, while shooting 75% from the floor as the Cats downed Northern Colorado and Northern Arizona.
Off the court, Braxton served as co-President of MSU’s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and worked on projects including the Salvation Army’s Adopt-a-Family over the Christmas holiday. She also participated in Big Sky Conference legislation and discussion with athletes around the league her senior season.
Braxton has responsibilities in recruiting, coordinating official and unofficial visits, assisting in post development, serving as assistant defensive coordinator, serving as the program’s academic liaison, running the program's social media platforms, and assisting with Bobcat camps.
Braxton received her degree in business management with a minor in entrepreneurship.
