So happy that Molly has found her calling and has found true meaning for her time at UConn!

What a fine young lady. If she found her inspiration I am happy for her. Hope she teaches, as she is a great student and could likely relate well to the kids.

It was a fantastic article. Even the greatest of players will eventually have to stop playing, and her finding a new path to her life is nice to read about. She was in a tough situation at UCONN for her, but she never quit and that too will be a great foundation for her to build on.

Main little tidbit that seems new

When allowable, Bent stops at UConn on her way from Philadelphia back home, and says she talks frequently with Kathy Auriemma. When the Huskies played at Villanova on Dec. 22, Bent could not get into the arena, but was able to visit briefly with her former teammates outside after the game. She also has been able to get on the court and play some pickup games with Penn players.
