Pima Community College women’s basketball program, coming off an appearance in the NJCAA Division II championship game, continues to build from within Southern Arizona.
The Aztecs signed Flowing Wells standout point guard Nevaeh Urenda on Friday in a ceremony held at the school’s gymnasium.
It was fitting that Pima coach Todd Holthaus was on hand because he coached the Lady Caballeros from 1998 to 2005 before becoming an assistant to Joan Bonvicini at Arizona. After two years with the Wildcats, he landed the Pima job in 2007.
Urenda developed into one of the top players in the state in her four-year career at Flowing Wells.
She finished with career totals of 1,203 points, 660 rebounds, 425 assists and 380 steals.
She averaged 17 points, 7.3 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game during her senior season, leading Flowing Wells to a 20-9 overall record.
Pima’s team that finished 29-6 overall included six players from Southern Arizona.
