EUGENE — Oregon women’s basketball is losing one of its returning guards.

Holly Winterburn, who averaged 3.4 points and 1.5 rebounds as a freshman this season, announced Wednesday she has entered the transfer portal and is leaving UO.

“As of today my name is officially in the transfer portal,” Winterburn tweeted. “I want to thank the University of Oregon for opportunity to play this year and be part of such an incredibly talented team. With that said, it wasn’t the right fit for me and I am so excited for what’s to come next.”

She averaged 11.4 minutes per game in 28 games off the bench for the No. 2 Ducks, shooting 36.6 percent from the field including 32.6 percent from three-point range. Winterburn missed some games due to an injury to her face and returned with a protective mask late in the season.

The Northampton, England, native is among the majority of Oregon’s players who returned home since the cancellation of the NCAA Tournament.

Winterburn becomes the first non-senior or WNBA draft entrant to leave the program this offseason. Oregon returns starter Erin Boley and top bench players Taylor Chavez and Jaz Shelley as well as Lydia Giomi, Lucy Cochrane, Morgan Yaeger, Nyara Sabally and Sedona Prince in 2020-21. The Ducks also add five signees, all of whom are McDonald’s All-Americans.
