Icelandic forward Birna Benonysdottir entered the transfer portal on Wednesday, becoming the second underclassman to leave the Arizona Wildcats this offseason, the other being sophomore guard Bryce Nixon.
Benonysdottir’s departure, like Nixon’s, does not come as a surprise after she only appeared in 10 games and amassed 44 minutes as a freshman.
Posts Cate Reese, Semaj Smith, Sevval Gül all have multiple years of eligibility left, and Arizona is trying to add a transfer to the frontcourt in addition to five-star recruit Lauren Ware, meaning playing time would again have been hard to come by for Benonysdottir for the next couple of years.
