Arizona Women’s Basketball wraps up Non-Conference Schedule, Defeats Portland State

In her first season coaching with the Wildcats, Adia Barnes has guided the Women’s Basketball team to a very respectable 9-2 start. Arizona improved upon their record, following the victory over Portland State on Tuesday evening.

Entering the year with fairly low expectations, it’s safe to assume, not many anticipated the Wildcats to have a great year.

Before accepting her first head coaching job, Barnes, the former Wildcat standout knew her work would be cut out for her.
