Lindsey Malecha spent three years trying to join the Arizona women’s basketball team, before she finally earned a spot as a walk-on as a junior.
Now, she’s on scholarship.
Head coach Adia Barnes surprised the senior with the news Friday.
The reveal was awesome:
Malecha appeared in 23 games in her first season with the Wildcats.
Before arriving in Tucson, she was a four-year letterwinner at Hill-Murray High School in Maplewood, Minnesota, and was named first-team All-Conference during her freshman, junior and senior seasons.
During her senior season, she was named All-State Class AAA after averaging 22 points, 7.
