Sanders, a walk-on with the Buffaloes for the past year and a half, entered the transfer portal earlier this month. During her time at CU, she redshirted during the 2022-23 season and appeared in five games this past season, scoring three points in 11 minutes of play.

“I’m excited for this new chapter in my basketball career,” Sanders said in a statement.

Sanders is one of seven CU players to enter the transfer portal, with several already committing to new schools. Center Aaronette Vonleh has committed to Baylor, forward Brianna McLeod to SMU, guard Mikayla Johnson to Pittsburgh, and forward Ruthie Loomis-Goltl to Idaho. Guards Jadyn Atchison and Lele Tanuvasa have yet to announce their transfer destinations.
