All-time Connecticut players

that Stacy Freese transferred to Iowa State. Stacy of course is the sis of Maryland's Brenda Freese.

BTW#2: during Nadine's junior or senior year Iowa came to Gampel to play UConn....a 'coming-home' game I assume.
Iowa was good during her stay there but UConn had won Ring #1 in her frosh year and was a national power. UConn won the game fairly easily with Domond playing pretty well. I was in the end zone seats and at the end of the game

Stacy Freese is Brenda's sister-in-law.

Domond also got to play at UConn in the 1997 NCAAs. #8 vs #1.

Abandoned? A little harsh by any stretch. Coach Stringer took another job. Ms Domond went on to have a very nice career at Iowa. Certainly no bitterness on her part toward Coach Stringer when Stringer refused to take any Iowa players with her to Rutgers.

"Very nice" means not that great in this context. Tell me how a Bridgeport girl ends up in the middle of corn country.

1st team: Jen Rizzotti, Nadine Domond, Nykesha Sales, Tracy Lis, Tracy Claxton
2nd team: Maria Conlon, Rita Williams, the SJU guard

It seems like Laura Lishness never gets the credit she is due. She was Big East freshman of the year in 1988, beating out Kerry Bascom. In 1989 she achieved a triple double in a Big East tournament game, a feat never duplicated by any Uconn women's player as of this date. She will always be the original #10 to me! Oh, and she also started at guard for the 1991 final four team.

Well, the most famous CT. basketball player had to be Joan Joyce


Joyce played on the USA women's national basketball team in 1964 and 1965, setting a national tournament single game scoring record in 1964 with 67 points. She was a four-time Women's Basketball Association All-American, and a three-time Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) All-America player.

Raybestos was unbelievable. Donna Lopiano had a stellar 10-year career and then went on to do even bigger things.

Joan Joyce may be only person in the category with Babe Didrickson Zaharias. Joan was a 4-sport standout: softball, golf, basketball, and volleyball. Her career softball stats include 150 no-hitters and an ERA of 0.09. She also hit .467 one season. She still holds the LPGA record for fewest putts in a round: 17.

Bertha Regan Tickey was a little older than Joan. Bertha had 162 career no-hitters and 757 wins. She makes Cy Young look like a slouch. (Bertha was born in California.)
