BY THE NUMBERS
Onyenwere broke into the starting lineup during her sophomore season, and since that time is averaging 18.7 points and 8.2 rebounds per game. COVID-19 prevented her from becoming just the second player in UCLA history to score 2,000 points and grab 1,000 rebounds in her career. Onyenwere still managed to finish 4th in Bruins history in total points and 8th in total rebounds, and became just the second Bruin (Natalie Williams) to earn USBWA All-America honors on two occasions.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
“Her physical skills are abundant; she averaged 18.9 PPG and 8.9 RPG last season and 18.3 and 8.5 as a sophomore. Her ability to defend against multiple types of players should help, too. The issue, though, is that as an undersized forward — she is listed at 6-0 — she probably needs more guard skills for the next level. She can hit the 3-pointer — she has made 41 in her career — and it will help if she can improve there. The key for the team that takes her, though, might be to focus on what she does well and not what she doesn’t.”
~ Mechelle Voepel, espn.com
“Onyenwere has averaged over 7rpg for her college career and has shown a propensity for tracking the loose balls. She’s not the biggest threat from beyond the arc as a guard, but Onyenwere is a physical player with the ability to defend multiple positions.”
~ Brandon Davis, winsidr.com
“She impresses me every single day. I’ve never met anyone as athletic as her or consistent as her. Off the court, she always checks in on everybody. She’s just an amazing player, athlete and person.”
~ Natalie Chou, UCLA
