PITTSBURGH – The Pitt women's basketball program picked up its second signee of the 2025 transfer class in 5-9 guard Carla Viegas, as announced by head coach Tory Verdi Sunday evening.
Viegas, a product of Malaga, Spain, joins the Panthers with two years of eligibility remaining after beginning her collegiate career at Florida State.
"Carla is one of the best 3-point shooters in the ACC," said Verdi. "She's a proven winner that has competed in the ACC and internationally. We're excited to add another strong veteran voice, who is also familiar with our league."
Viegas averaged 6.0 points per contest on 43.2 percent shooting from beyond the arc during the 2024-25 campaign. Of note, 63 of Viegas' 64 field goals made last season were 3-pointers.
Viegas had one of her best showings last season against Pitt (Feb. 20) – recording 15 points on 5-for-9 shooting from deep. She also had a standout performance against then-No. 1 Notre Dame on Feb. 27, shooting 4-of-7 from downtown as the Seminoles upset the top-ranked Irish.
Overall, Viegas recorded 320 points and 100 triples in 61 games during her career at Florida State.
Prior to Florida State, Viegas enjoyed a successful prep career – representing Spain on the global stage. She averaged 9.3 points, while shooting 44.7 percent from 3-point range in helping Spain to a third-place finish at the 2023 FIBA U18 European Championship. Viegas also previously played for CAB Estepona of the Spanish League, where she shot 52-of-91 from 3-point range in 2019-20, 28-of-64 in 2020-21 and 58-of-115 in 2021-22.
