ATHLETIC COMMUNICATIONS

2016-17 PRESEASON INFO SHEET

- UConn won the national championship for the NCAA record 11th time in school history, defeating Syracuse, 82-51, on April 5 in Indianapolis. Moriah Jefferson and Morgan Tuck were honored on the All-NCAA Tournament Team for the second time while Breanna Stewart was selected as the Final Four Most Outstanding Player for the fourth-straight year. No other player has earned more than two NCAA Final Four MOP awards. - UConn returns two starters and five players overall from the national championship squad but the team will be without the services of the most decorated class in NCAA history. Breanna Stewart (Seattle Storm), Moriah Jefferson (San Antonio Stars) and Morgan Tuck (Connecticut Sun) were the first trio of teammates in history to be selected with the first three picks of the WNBA Draft. The trio oversaw the most successful four-year period in UConn history, compiling a 151-5 overall record en route to winning four national championships and posting a pair of perfect seasons (40-0 in 2013-14, 38-0 in 2015-16). The triumvirate combined to score 5,506 points and helped the Huskies win a record 24-consecutive NCAA Tournament games. Stewart was a consensus National Player of the Year during her sophomore season and was a unanimous pick in each of her last two years in Storrs. A three-time First Team All-America selection, Stewart was joined as a First Team All-American by Jefferson twice and by Tuck once. - The Final Four trip was UConn’s 17th all-time, which is the second-most appearances in the history of the sport. Tennessee has appeared in a record 18 Final Fours. Stanford has the third-highest total of 12 Final Four trips. The Huskies enter the 201617 season having appeared in a record nine-straight Final Fours and UConn has now advanced to at least the NCAA Regional Semifinal 13 times since 2000. - Connecticut won the national championship in undefeated fashion for the record sixth time and posted at least 30 wins for the 11th consecutive year. The Huskies eclipsed the 30-win plateau for the 21st time in the last 22 years and UConn enters the 201617 campaign on a 75-game winning streak and having won each of its last 24 away games. - Along with three freshman, the Huskies will also welcome newcomers Batouly Camara and Azura Stevens who transferred to Storrs from Kentucky and Duke respectively. Camara and Stevens will be forced to sit out the 2016-17 season due to NCAA transfer rules. - Molly Bent (Centerville, Mass.), Crystal Dangerfield (Murfreesboro, Tenn.) and Kyla Irwin (State College, Pa.) join the Huskies for the 2016-17 season. Dangerfield is the first Husky freshman to hail from the Volunteer State.

Geno Auriemma has redefined the meaning of success in women’s college basketball in his 31 years as head coach of the University of Connecticut women’s basketball team. During his illustrious tenure, Auriemma has transformed the UConn program into the standard that all others are measured, both on and off the court. Under his guidance, the Huskies have been transformed from a program with only one winning season, to its current state, which includes 11 national titles, 17 Final Fours, six perfect seasons (1995, 2002, 2009, 2010, 2014, 2016) and 43 conference titles, all since Auriemma’s arrival in 1985. This unmatched success, which is the standard for collegiate programs nationally, was recognized with Auriemma’s induction into both the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame (Springfield, Mass.) and the Women Basketball Hall of Fame (Knoxville, Tenn.) in 2006. In addition, Auriemma recently finished a successful eight-year term as he was named the head coach of the U.S. National Team, which won the gold medal at the 2012 Olympic Games in London and at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio. Former Husky greats Sue Bird, Tina Charles, Maya Moore and Diana Taurasi won gold medals in each of the last two games while Swin Cash and Asjha Jones were with Auriemma in 2012 and Breanna Stewart won gold in 2016. He is the only coach in women’s basketball history to guide a team to nine-consecutive Final Four appearances and his 22-5 record in Final Four games, including an 11-0 mark in national championship games is the best in NCAA history. Auriemma has won a major National Coach of the Year honor in nine different seasons and has been named the conference Coach of the Year 12 times, including the 2015-16 honor. He reached the 600, 700, 800 and 900-win mark faster than any other coach in the history of college basketball and became the sport’s alltime leader in winning percentage when he surpassed Leon Barmore’s previous mark of .869 UConn swept both the league regular season and tournament crowns in 19 different seasons - all since Auriemma has taken over the program’s reins. Connecticut’s postseason success under Auriemma has been legendary as the Huskies have won the Conference Tournament crown in 19 of the last 23 seasons and boast a current streak of 23 consecutive NCAA Regional appearances. Auriemma also guided UConn to its 21st 30-win season in 2015-16, all in the past 23 years.

Connecticut made even more history in 2008-09, as it became the ﬁrst NCAA Division I basketball team (men’s or women’s) to go undefeated and beat each of its opponents by at least a 10-point margin.

Connecticut had three players earn first-team All-America status in 2008-09 as Renee Montgomery, Tina Charles and Maya Moore were each honored. Moore was also selected as the consensus national player of the year. As a freshman in 2007-08, Moore became the second straight Connecticut player to be recognized as the National Freshman of the Year and also was selected as the first ever freshman recipient (male or female) of the BIG EAST Player of the Year award. Tina Charles was honored in 2008. The 2006-07 campaign saw the Huskies post a perfect 16-0 record in conference play - marking the sixth time that UConn posted an unblemished BIG EAST record under Auriemma. The 2003-04 season was a historical one - even for the tradition-rich Connecticut program - as it became only the second program in NCAA history to win three consecutive national titles. The road to their third straight title was a bumpy one at times for the Huskies, but with Auriemma’s leadership the team never wavered from achieving their ultimate goal, despite encountering a few detours along the way. In 2003-04, the Huskies tied the NCAA-record for consecutive home court wins at 69-straight games and won the BIG EAST Regular Season title for the 11th consecutive season. Senior standout Diana Taurasi was named Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four for the second straight year and was also honored as the Naismith National Player of the Year for the second time in her career, in addition to being the recipient of the Honda Award and the Nancy Lieberman Award. The 2002-03 season, despite an influx of new faces, mirrored Auriemma’s teams of the past. The squad continued the program’s winning tradition by bringing home UConn’s fourth women’s basketball national championship and also broke the NCAA Division I women’s record for most consecutive victories with 70-straight. Connecticut shattered the previous mark of 54 set by Louisiana Tech with its 55th-straight win on January 18, 2003, versus Georgetown in the Hartford Civic Center. For the fourth time in UConn history, the Huskies finished the regular season undefeated with a perfect 29-0 record. They went on to capture UConn’s 10th straight BIG EAST regular season title and continued their winning ways into the postseason, making their seventh Final Four appearance. After two competitive games in the Final Four, the Huskies earned their fourth NCAA Women’s Basketball Championship and became only the third school to do so in back-to-back years. Junior Diana Taurasi was named the 2003 Final Four Most Outstanding Player, while freshman Ann Strother was named to the Final Four All-Tournament team. It was the first time in women’s or men’s basketball history that a program earned the national championship without a senior on its roster.
