Message: [QUOTE="eebmg, post: 4183861, member: 7548"] Sweet Carl Ademec story about an elite (Nebraskan) gymnast who has always been a UConn fan and UConn gave her an example of what can be done with goals and hard work [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.journalinquirer.com/sports/college/uconn_womens_basketball/uconn-fan-from-omaha-16-is-an-elite-gymnast/article_1127e640-83f7-11ec-bd05-8bbb36522ae8.html[/URL] It was eight years ago she went to Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln to watch the Huskies play. Her favorites, she told a UConn supporter, were Stewart and UConn coach Geno Auriemma. That supporter was Auriemma’s wife Kathy. So after the win she and then-athletic director Warde Manuel accompanied Zeiss to the locker room where she met the Hall of Fame coach and his players, took pictures with the team, and had them sign her game program. She said it was the best day of her life. “I remember it like it was yesterday,” Zeiss said. “I was just in awe of everyone.” Two days later, UConn beat Texas A&M to advance to the Final Four in Nashville, where the Huskies defeated Stanford and Notre Dame to go 40-0 and win the second of four consecutive national championships.
