Leading scorer Aaronette Vonleh having monster season for CU Buffs

Aaronette Vonleh is quietly putting together a monster season

The fifth-ranked CU women’s basketball team is off to a hot start this season and looks every bit like a contender to win the Pac-12 and go deep into the NCAA Tournament.

One player who is having an especially strong season is Aaronette Vonleh. She is averaging a team-high 15.4 points per game while shooting 64.5% from the field. The 6-foot-3 center had an 18-point performance against Utah in the victory, and she had 14 points and a career-high five blocks vs. Northern Colorado on Dec. 21.

On Friday evening, the Buffs face Vonleh’s former team, Arizona. Vonleh played in 17 games for the Wildcats in 2021-22 before transferring to Boulder.

Colorado head coach JR Payne has a flurry of talented players on her roster this year, and Vonleh has been a key part of the Buffs’ success.
