HARTFORD—U.S. Senators Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) on Wednesday announced a resolution congratulating the University of Connecticut women’s basketball team for winning the 2025 National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Women’s Basketball Championship. The resolution commends the Huskies’ dominant and record-breaking performance on their way to their twelfth national title since 1995, a feat no other college team has surpassed. They also recognize Azzi Fudd for being named the Most Outstanding Player of the tournament and congratulate UConn fans, students, and faculty for the incredible accomplishment.

"The UConn women’s team’s run through the tournament was dominant, and as usual, they made our state so proud as they won their record 12th national championship. Watching Sarah Strong, Paige Bueckers, and Azzi Fudd all playing at the top of their game with the brightest lights on them was so inspiring,” said Murphy. “Congratulations to the team and all the support staff that make our women’s team such a force."

“The Huskies have solidified Connecticut’s title as the Basketball Capital of the World with their record-breaking win – filling our entire state with immense joy and pride,” said Blumenthal. “This resolution honors the teamwork, tenacity, and talent of the UConn Women’s team and its coaches, and celebrates the devotion of their fans. Congratulations Huskies!”
