Helena Pueyo, a former guard for the Arizona Wildcats, has joined Valencia Basket, the defending champion of the Liga Femenina Endesa. Pueyo spent the first two years of her professional career with Zaragoza, competing for titles in domestic and European
leagues. Her move to Valencia comes after Zaragoza's loss to Valencia in last season's playoffs. Pueyo was previously drafted by the Connecticut Sun but returned to Spain to play for Zaragoza, where she became a star player.
