Outside of collegiate play, Turner was named to the United States women's national U23 3x3 team for the 2024 FIBA 3x3 U23 World Cup. She averaged 5.7 points in seven games and was a part of securing the team's first gold medal in tournament history.

Beers comes to Connecticut after playing her final collegiate season at the University of Oklahoma. The 6-4 center spent two years at Oregon State before joining the Sooners in her junior and senior years. The Colorado native was named the Pac-12 Freshman of the Year and Sixth Player of the Year (2023), and in her sophomore season, Beers earned AP All-America Third Team honors, a nod on the Athletics All-America Second Team and was a Lisa Leslie Award finalist. In her two seasons with the Sooners, Beers averaged 16.5 points, 9.9 rebounds, and shot 62.4 percent from the field per game.
