Versatile veteran Helena Pueyo announced that she's returning for a fifth season with the Arizona Wildcats.
PJ Brown Adia Barnes was happy on Thursday when she heard the news that her No. 1 recruit of the offseason, Helena Pueyo, was returning to Arizona for her fifth year.While the official announcement of Pueyo’s return would have to wait a day, Arizona fans were put on alert that good news was headed their way.
The Spaniard is the only Wildcat who remains from the squad that played in the national championship game two years ago. Gone are graduating seniors Cate Reese and Shaina Pellington. Madi Conner and Lauren Ware entered the transfer portal on Wednesday. Pueyo could start for just about any program but likes it best when she is coming off the bench. At Arizona, she has started 11 times during her career, including six times this past season.
Her length helps her get into passing lanes to deflect passes, pick steals and block shots. This season she had a career-high 73 steals and 21 blocks. She also shot at a 50.8% clip overall and 31.4% from beyond the 3-point line. Six players remain on the roster for the 2023-24 season at the moment: Pueyo, Esmery Martinez, Lauren Fields, Maya Nnaji, Kailyn Gilbert and early enrollee Montaya Dew.
