Nahawa Diarra Berthe brings defense, physicality to UNM women’s basketball

Mike Bradbury checked another box on his offseason to-do list Monday.

The University of New Mexico women’s basketball coach has made adding size and physicality an offseason priority. The Lobos took another step in that direction by officially signing junior college transfer Nahawa Diarra Berthe to their roster.

A 5-foot-9 combo guard from Barcelona, Spain, Diarra Berthe played at Texas’ Odessa College last season and has three years of eligibility remaining. She verbally committed to UNM in March after attending the Lobos’ WNIT win over Northern Arizona at the Pit, but her signing was officially announced Monday.
