STORRS, Conn. – The University of Connecticut Division of Athletics would like to express our most heartfelt gratitude to our fans and students for creating an electric atmosphere inside Gampel Pavilion during the UConn women’s basketball team’s 87-62 victory over No. 1 South Carolina on Monday evening.
Our fans once again showed everyone why they are the best in the country by braving another winter storm on their way to Storrs, staying until the end of the game and cheering loud during a fun night at Gampel Pavilion.
We would also like to express our appreciation to those who donated their tickets to UConn students. Over 600 tickets were returned to us and every one of them was utilized by a UConn student. Those extra students helped to bolster an already strong student section that heated up Gampel Pavilion on a cold Monday night.
Led by those 2,000 students, the crowd helped fuel a scintillating atmosphere that helped propel the Huskies to the victory and was representative of the Basketball Capital of the World in front of over one million viewers on ESPN2.
Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis and Moriah Jefferson said it best postgame on Monday.
“Any great player who goes to a program wants to be in that atmosphere, wants to play in front of fans like that who are roaring,” said Mosqueda-Lewis, who had a game-high 23 points. “I think it is something we feed off of.”
“I haven’t had this much fun in the game in I don’t know how long,” Jefferson said. “The fans are incredible and I am excited that they came out, even in this weather.”
Thank you, Husky fans, for your continuing support of UConn Athletics and our student-athletes.
