Cornfield, Perdue and Sugapong are all newcomers to both Arizona and the Big 12 Conference, bringing decorated résumés and veteran experience into their first season in Tucson.

Cornfield, a transfer from Buffalo, helped the Bulls to a program-record 30 wins and a WNIT Championship last season. She earned WNIT All-Tournament Team and MAC All-Defensive Team honors, averaging nearly 11 points and six assists per game. She ranked No. 1 in the MAC and top 20 nationally in steals per game (2.6), while also placing seventh nationally in assists (5.9).

Perdue joins the Wildcats after a standout season at Cleveland State, where she averaged 20 points and three assists per game and was named Horizon League Player of the Year. Recognized by On3 as the top Big 12 transfer, she enters the season as one of the league's most dynamic scoring guards.

Sugapong comes to Tucson after leading UC San Diego to a Big West Championship and the program's first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance last season. The San Diego native averaged 15 points and 3.7 assists per game, earning Big West Championship Most Outstanding Player honors. She led the conference in assists (132), assists per game (3.7), field goals (195), field goal attempts (558), points (534), steals and steals per game (2.47).

With a nearly new roster under first-year head coach Becky Burke, Arizona was picked 14th in the Big 12 Preseason Coaches Poll.
