Frida Formann took to Instagram on Wednesday to announce she’s returning for a fifth year to play for head coach JR Payne’s Colorado women’s basketball team.
The news is welcomed as Formann was a crucial piece of the Buffs’ NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 berths over the last two years. This past season, the sharpshooter averaged 12.5 points, 1.9 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game.
The 5-foot-11 guard, nicknamed “Three-da,” had her best shooting season too, setting career-highs in field goal percentage (44%), 3-point percentage (42.1%) and free-throw percentage (90.1%). She became CU’s all-time leader in career 3-point makes in men’s and women’s program history by draining her 260th deep shot in the Buffs’ Sweet 16 loss against Iowa.
With fifth-year seniors Jaylyn Sherrod, Quay Miller and Maddie Nolan moving on, Formann and soon-to-be junior center Aaronette Vonleh are currently the only two returning starters for the Buffs.
Was widely assumed after she didn’t go through senior day festivities, but Frida Formann officially announces on IG that she will be back with the #CUBuffs next season.
