What year might this have been. Also the uniform Katie has on doesn’t appear to be Georgetown colors.

Colors of uniforms change over time. That was probably what Georgetown wore then.

Notice how Katie wears her hair.

When was this taken?

When was this taken?

I imagine sometime between 1996 to 2001, when Shea Ralph played. Although she was out with ACL injuries A LOT. Oh and looks like Fudd played between 1998-2001. So sometime around then.

They played exactly the same years: both were freshmen in 1996-1997 (Katie at NC State). Both missed 1997-1998: Katie sat out a year while transferring to Georgetown, Shea was injured. Both played the three seasons from 1998-1999 through 2000-2001.

Long ago, Georgetown wore dark blue unis with white or silver stripes. At some point, they introduced the side pattern for the M & W programs. I had to go back and look at pics of Alonzo Mourning to see.

UConn played Georgetown 3 times in 1998-99, once each in 1999-00 and 2000-01. Assuming from Shea's white uniform that UConn is either the home team or the higher ranked team on a neutral court, there's 3 likely dates, all with similar results:

1998-99
January 16 1999 Storrs 106-49
February 20 1999 DC 82-55
March 1 1999 Piscataway NJ 77-42

1999-00
January 4 2000 DC 87-48

2000-01
January 2 2001 Storrs 107-45

Look closely at her left thigh, you'll see G U, so that solves the question, doesn't it?

Well that’s fun!

Here are Katie's stats:

Katie was a little better scorer and got to the FT line more often. Azzi is the better shooter, though Mom was very good.

In the second photo (you may need to scroll) you can see “GU” on the shorts.
