They’ll join new recruit Brooklyn Wiedenheft from Nevada who comes to UConn to study Biology and a history of competing in the Junior National Olympics in beach volleyball.Īnother sport that is often underappreciated is the women’s lacrosse team.

Those are the teams that don’t make headlines, that don’t necessarily get thought about even while many of them have historically found periods of success.

The reality is that UConn has far more than just those few teams the athletics department boasts a total of 19 teams from rowing to golf to football.
