UConn Women Getting Another International Player

STORRS, CT – A second international player in as many days has committed to the University of Connecticut women's basketball team.

Head coach Geno Auriemma announced Thursday the addition of forward Evelyn Adebayo as a graduate transfer for the 2019-20 season.

A native of London, England, Adebayo played the 2018-19 season at Murray State, where she was named First Team All-OVC and All-Newcomer. She set the program’s single-season record with 19 double-doubles as she led the Racers with 18.2 points and 11.4 rebounds per game.

The 6-foot-1 forward spent her first two seasons at Gardner-Webb.

Adebayo played for Great Britain in the 2015 U20 European Championships.

Adebayo is one of three newcomers for the Huskies next season as she joins freshmen Aubrey Griffin and Ania Makurat.
