Dorka's Mom played at Gampel in 1993

She came off the bench and scored 7 points in 20 minutes, 3 boards, 1 assist, 2 steals. Way to go Mom!!

Tonya Boone? At first I thought it was Tonya Cardoza maybe before a name change, then realized Cardoza went to UVA. I had to look up Tonya Boone, apparently a starter in that game.

So funny seeing the manual score sheets. All computerized now. Reminded me of the days back when I was a baseball coach and we did the same thing - drawing lines around the diamond when a player advanced around the bases, filling it in if they scored, etc. How times have changed!!
 
Dorka’s mom was a player: 7 pts, 3 rebounds in 20 mins!

It looks like a typical UConn game, PEC Hungary kept it close in the first half, 49-50. But UConn blew the game Ionesco in the second half, 26-47
 
Besides the historical interest, article contains alot of great analysis from both Dorka and Geno's perspective on the current team and the deficiencies of last year's team
 
Dorka on South Carolina in the national championship game in what Connecticut needs to do to compete and win:

Obviously, Aliyah Boston, she’s amazing,” Juhász said. “But not even just the bigs, that whole team was just so aggressive. On the offensive boards, I remember [South Carolina] just attacking the boards every single time, giving them second chances. … We just have to get that kind of aggression to be able to get every single offensive rebound, box out every possession. I remember the first five minutes, just how they came in with so much confidence and strength.
 
So besides Dorka and Azzi's mom, any other UConn player's mom had such distinction? If not UConn players, any other 'big name' players on other teams?

Did Marsha (Mann) Ralph and her UNC team ever play UConn?

Kyla Irwin’s mom, Bethany Collins Irwin, played for Penn State in the mid to late 80’s. Did UConn play Penn State during those years? A boneyarder with an old media guide might be able to check it out.
 
Great info!

That clearly was in the 1993-1994 season. That season UConn made a huge jump going deep in the NCAA
tournament compared to the last 2.

Trivia question for oldie but goodie fans...or anyone else. No research allowed....just a close examination
of the UConn box score:

Somebody is missing....who?

Kara Wolters
 
Bingo! Berube and Wolters were in the same class. Carla played....no Kara.
Injured? They were both sophs that year.
 
Nice job Forego. I missed have Missy missing as well.
Only 9 players listed. Kara and Missy would make 11 on the roster.
Anybody else not playing?
 
93-94 was Kara’s freshman year i believe and im guessing her conditioning wasn’t were it needed to be at this point

Jamelle's kind of game: making two of the opponent's starters foul out, only fouling twice, 10 for 14 from the field, 1 for 1 from three point range, 1 block and one steal to make up for only two turn-overs, with 3 assists. 26 points in 29 minutes of playing time... Got to love Jamelle!!!!
