UVM Woman's Basketball - Building A Strong Resume

Despite losing to UConn by more than 35 points - again, the UVM woman’s basketball team has had tremendous success this season. And although I poke fun at UVM’s losing margin, they did hold UConn to 84 points this year versus 104 points a year ago. Plus, success against UConn is all relative.
