Soniya

[magic]

Hard not noticing how good things happen with Soniya on the floor. Great court awareness for a freshman.

 

[meyers7]

She's doing real well, especially for a freshman. But, good things are happening tonight, no matter who is on the floor.

 

[meyers7]

Good start to 2nd half. UCONN in a zone.

Both kinds.

Saniya is doing well too.

 

[pap49cba]

Saniya is doing well too.

So is Suniya.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Saniya is doing well too.

I was gonna say something like that too. For a team with such basic names, it's amazing how many of the fans don't actually know the players' names - some that have been on the team for 4 years.

Basic names? How many people do you know named Saniya? (Even spell check doesn't know it.)

Not sure what the walk-on players names are.... but the only real basic names on your roster in my opinion are Stephanie and Morgan.

But she spells it Stefanie.

You, too, fell into the trap.... It's Stefanie.

 

[huskybill]

Nicknames are all that count. I like our walkons...Polly and Lolly.

 

[triaddukefan]

But she spells it Stefanie.

You, too, fell into the trap.... It's Stefanie.

oops

 

[HoopsFan21]

Basic names? How many people do you know named Saniya? (Even spell check doesn't know it.)

These seem basic to me, here is the roster:

Dolson
Jefferson
Tuck
Hartley
Stokes
Banks
Chong
Stewart
Mosqueda-Lewis
Lawlor
Pulido

I dunno with the exception of maybe Mosqueda-Lewis, most of them are spelled like they sound. The first names:

Bria
Briana
Brianna
Breanna
Kiah
Stefanie
Kaleena
Morgan
Moriah
Saniya
Tierney

Saniya and Tierney are unusual first names, but none of them are crazy. Not compared to what I've seen on other teams. There are only eleven young women on the team. It's not hard to learn their names, especially if you're a fan. Maybe I'm just a good speller (bonus points to those that can match the four Bria* names with their last names)

 

[ThisJustIn]

Ah, for the good old days of Rebekah, Genifer, Karah, Swyn, Aja, Tameeka, Nakeesha, Karlah, Stayci, Page, Dyana, Wylnet, Marieea, Teena, Rene, Mya, Tifanee, Kelli....

Sorry for mispelling Saniya .

 

[Icebear]

How is Sonya doing? No one ever asks about Sonya.

Ask Stef about her nickname at home: Naynay.

 

[meyers7]

I just use their last names. Easier. And treats them more like basketball players on a team I follow, rather than some teenage girls that I know.....cause I don't actually know any of them.

Yeah, I agree, I generally do the same. Sometimes using the first name or some kind of abbreviation is quicker to type though.

 

[ChicagoGG]

Ask Stef about her nickname at home: Naynay.

I thought NeNe was Renee Montgomery....that's what Tina and KG call her.

 

[Sonny44]

I thought NeNe was Renee Montgomery....that's what Tina and KG call her.

That may also be true.

 

[Icebear]

I thought NeNe was Renee Montgomery....that's what Tina and KG call her.

Yeah, she was and that's why they had to change Stef's name. People kept confusing the two of them.

 

[Sonny44]

Well there's only one NeNe now.
