Irena Korolenko brings veteran forward value with rebounding and steady two-way minutes
In the 2024-25 season, Irena Korolenko gave Santa Clara dependable frontcourt minutes, appearing in 27 games and averaging 1.9 points, 1.6 rebounds, and 0.3 assists in 8.3 minutes per game, after arriving as a graduate transfer who had previously posted 8.3 points and 6.3 rebounds per game at Seattle in 2023-24. Her fit is about maturity, experience, and physicality more than flash: she has started before, has been an Academic All-WAC pick, and gives a roster a seasoned, low-drama forward who can compete on the glass and understand the game quickly.
