Paige coming back!! Aubrey too!! (Merged)

[EricLA]

How can you not get emotional at senior night??

Nika emotional, "we're not done yet". Thanked everyone in the world LOL

Liya "we're not done yet"

Aubrey - "I'm coming back"... crowd goes wild

Paige - "everyone wants me to address the elephant in the room. Unfortunately <crowd totally hushed>, this will NOT be my last senior night here!!!"

Crowd goes insane...!

Also wanted to add on edit - how great to see the love from the rest of the team? Caroline and Jana in tears. Everyone emotional. It's easy to forget these are just "kids" or young adults. Going thru so much and being in such a spotlight. LOVE this team so much!

Never had a single doubt that Paige would pass up playing another year with Azzi. I mean she pretty much begged her to come join her.

 

[Plebe]

Luv ya Paige

 

[GG]

Yay!!!!!!!!

Happy as I was to have heard Aubrey yesterday? I was sad to see the others lifting their photos with no word.

 

[Valleyfan]

Wonderful news all around. Go get ‘em girls

What an incredibly special Senior Night ceremony this was -- even without the awesome announcements from Aubrey and Paige. These young women had such thoughtful, eloquent, and sincere comments. I hope they know that we love them right back! They are a credit to UConn and the coaching staff (as well as their families).

Excited for next year already!! Go Huskies!!!

I'm sure Paige really wants to get at least one full season in with her BFF Azzi Fudd.

 

[Hist-teacher]

I literally jumped out of my seat when Paige announced she was coming back next year! I'd heard about Aubrey during Geno's slip-up yesterday so I wasn't surprised. Two more to go! Nika and Aaliyah make it 4-4!

 

[CTtoSanDiego]

This is the best news I could possibly hear. I hope AE comes back as well. Nika would be a bonus.

 

[TheFarmFan]

Congrats y'all! Really delighted for UConn, as well as for all of us who get to watch her compete alongside Azzi. So pumped.
