Irene Garrido, a 6-1 forward from Granada, Spain, has signed a National Letter of Intent to play basketball for the University of Minnesota. As a transfer from Western Wyoming Community College, she will be a junior this fall for head coach Marlene Stollings and the Golden Gophers.

“Irene has a quick release and can score with incredible accuracy,” Stollings said. “She is versatile, hard-working and has a high motor. We are very happy to have Irene joining our basketball family. She will make an immediate impact on our program with her experience and maturity.”

Garrido was Western Wyoming’s scoring leader and an all-region selection in both her years there. She started 25 games during the 2016-17 season and averaged a team-high 13.6 points per contest, including four games with at least 20 points. She shot 47.4 percent from the field, including a conference-best 48.8-percent mark from behind the 3-point line, and converted 86.7 percent of her free throw attempts. Her scoring average ranked third in the conference. Garrido also added averages of 4.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.7 steals.
