Somebody on this board told us Chong would be starting before the end of the year. Sorta good call. They actually thought she would be starting in place of Jefferson eek. But I don't think anyone saw us losing KML, Tuck and Banks (all at the same time) for portions of the season.

Very glad Chong has been able to step up. She's doing a great job.

Awesome Chong from Ossining. The confidence is growing and now the FOTWs can start flowing.

Take a little hitch out of the 3-pt shot, and she will be lighting it up from deep.

Congrats to Saniya, but she may have a hard time beating out Scaife or Fitzgerald. Scaife only had one game this week and she had 17 points and 6 rebounds against Louisville. We will get to see them play head to head on March 1st.

I remember that. Glad it wasn't me; I'd be pretty embarrassed now.

Noticed she is moving on offense now. Even has someone on her all the time now. Very good sign. Takes a defensive player away from double teaming our shooters. Very good. Excellent progress.

AFAIC- Saniya Chong can do no wrong!

Congratulations, Saniya……..well done! Keep working very hard at practice and in games!

As your contributions increase, so will your confidence and self assurance, which will help lead you to the goals you dreamed of when you picked UConn as your school of choice.
