The Arizona Wildcats women's basketball team picked up one more member for its 2020-21 team Tuesday morning when Virginia Tech graduate transfer forward Trinity Baptiste announced her commitment to UA on her Twitter page. 

As part of a Virginia Tech team that went 21-9 in 2020, the 6-foot Baptiste averaged 9.5 points and 6.4 rebounds coming off the bench, and received ACC Sixth Player of the Year honors. 

Since Baptiste is a graduate transfer, she'll be in Tucson only for next season, but joins a likely top-10 Arizona team that returns All-American guard Aari McDonald, All-Pac-12 forward Cate Reese, All-Pac-12 defender Sam Thomas, Oklahoma transfer Shaina Pellington, Semaj Smith, Helena Pueyo and incoming freshman Lauren Ware, among others.
