That is evident!! Let's be real. Who is more imposing on UConn's schedule than ND? THIS was the BIGGEST game on their schedule. THIS was the game (during the summer) that many pointed to and thought UConn, not could lose, but would lose. ND has been the biggest game on their schedule for the past 10 years.
Christyn is perceived as "fearless". If she was not intimidated by ND, then she won't be intimidated by any other team. ND loses Ogunbowale, Turner, Marina Mabrey and Shepard this May to graduation. That's 4/5 of their starting line up. Only Jackie Young returns.
It will be difficult for them to remain as potent (their bite) as they've been the last few years with the loss of these 4. I realize they have some talented freshmen coming in, but they are freshmen, and will play like freshmen. Their play next year won't remind you of any of their current seniors. Maybe in year two, but not next year.
