UConn women’s basketball coach Geno Auriemma passed Tara VanDerveer as college basketball’s all-time winningest coach with the Huskies’ win over Fairleigh Dickinson on Wednesday night in Storrs. Auriemma earned his 1,217th win.

UConn used 11 players, including Azzi Fudd, who missed the beginning of this season and all of last season after suffering a knee injury in November 2023.

In that way, it felt less like a historic victory and just like any other Huskies’ win. Read More
