The UConn Huskies, under longtime head coach Geno Auriemma, have maintained their status as one of the top women’s college basketball programs in the country in recent years.
Auriemma recently guided the team to a national championship with key contributions from standout players Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd.
Following the title-winning season, UConn saw the departure of star guard and leading scorer Bueckers, who was selected as the No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA Draft.
With Fudd expected to step into a leadership role, the Huskies strengthened their roster by acquiring one of the top transfers available during the offseason.
Kayleigh Heckel, a former USC Trojan and highly regarded recruit, is set to join UConn for the upcoming season.
Ahead of her debut, UConn also announced that Heckel will compete in the USA Basketball Women’s U19 National Team trials.
“Kayleigh Heckel will participate in the 2025 USA Basketball Women’s U19 National Team trials,” posted the official social media account of the UConn Huskies women’s basketball team.
Heckel will be heading to Colorado Springs, set to begin team trials on June 18.
