Oregon State officially announces the addition of Arizona grad transfer Bendu Yeaney (5-10 SR wing, Portland, OR), who returns to her home state. She started her college career at Indiana.

The Oregon State women’s basketball team has added graduate-transfer standout Bendu Yeaney to its roster for the 2022-23 season head coach Scott Rueck announced Thursday.

“I have been watching Bendu play since her high school career began and for her to finish up her collegiate career back home at Oregon State is very special!” Rueck said. “She is an exceptional person and exceptional player. Bendu is a great defender, an attacking offensive player, has great court vision and fits our program extremely well. We are blessed to be able to add such a dynamic person and player with a wealth of experience and leadership ability. She will be a great asset on the floor and also in the development of her younger teammates. Bendu is the perfect person at the perfect time for our program and I know Beaver Nation is going to love her!”

Joining the Beavers will mark a homecoming for Yeaney, who hails from Portland, Ore. The guard spent the last two seasons at Arizona, after beginning her collegiate career at Indiana. Yeaney brings extensive experience at the highest level of college basketball, having made an impressive 122 career starts, including 10 in the NCAA Tournament. Overall, she has 952 career points, averaging 7.1 per contest, and has proven herself as a lock-down defender – often being tasked with guarding one of the opponent’s leading offensive weapons.

Yeaney started all 29 games for Arizona last season, helping the Wildcats earn a No. 4 seed in the NCAA Tournament. She scored in double-figures eight times on the year, including a season-high 15-point performance at Gill Coliseum. Yeaney was also a key piece of Arizona’s 2020-21 squad, starting the final 24 games of the season, which ended in the National Championship Game.
