Tara Manumaleuga has only been a member of the Arizona Wildcats for two weeks, but she has wasted no time making a favorable impression on her new teammates.
“She brings a ton of energy. She’s on the (scout) team. She’s making us better every day,” said sophomore forward Sam Thomas. “We love hearing her accent in practice. When she talks on defense, it’s just a great time.”
Manumaleuga is Arizona’s newest import. The Australian guard joined the team mid-season at the semester break after graduating high school in December.
Manumaleuga is one-fourth of Arizona’s 2019 recruiting class that is currently comprised entirely of international prospects.
