UConn will always be her first home but also the love she has for her team..

UConn will always be her first home a place that shaped her, challenged her, and set the foundation for everything she has become. It was there that she learned the meaning of discipline, the value of teamwork, and the unshakeable spirit of perseverance. Every practice, every game, and every late-night session in the gym built her character and forged lifelong bonds. The memories she created in Storrs, from the roaring fans to the quiet moments of reflection, will forever be etched in her heart.

But home is not just a place. It’s also people and now, the team she stands with today has captured a new part of her heart. The love she has for her current team runs deep. It’s a different chapter, but one written with the same passion and purpose. These women are her sisters in sweat, determination, and victory. They’ve celebrated triumphs and endured challenges together. The locker room laughter, the unspoken trust on the court, and the shared commitment to a common goal have created a new kind of home one built on mutual respect, unity, and love.

UConn gave her roots; her team now gives her wings. While she will always carry UConn in her soul, the pride she feels for her teammates today is just as fierce. She leads and plays not only with the legacy of UConn behind her but with the fierce love and loyalty she has for the ones who fight beside her now. One home made her; the other inspires her every day. And in both, her heart beats with the rhythm of the game she loves.
