UConn women's basketball prepares for 2026-27 season with new roster

The UConn women’s basketball team, starting its 2026-27 season, returns 10 players and adds three freshmen. Head coach Geno Auriemma anticipates a more manageable roster with 13 players, marking the first time in four years with fewer than 14. Key departures include Azzi Fudd and Serah Williams, leaving room for newcomers like Marine Dursus and Kelis Fisher to step up. Auriemma aims to establish a solid rotation after struggling with a larger roster last season. UConn's coaching staff has also changed, welcoming former player Nykesha Sales as an assistant coach.
