But in 2018, "Audrey Holt, Missouri State senior forward, made national headlines when she decided to retire from college basketball after suffering her 14th concussion. Holt played in 95 games during her collegiate career and ranks 15th in her school’s history with 53 blocks."

A casual search revealed that at least 2 UConn women players have suffered concussions. Both were in 2011, Tiffany Hayes and Bria Hartley. It happened to one during a game and the other during a practice.
