The UConn women are national champs again. Congrats to the Huskies and to coach Geno Auriemma on his 10th NCAA title. That’s amazing.
The Huskies will return home from Tampa on Wednesday for a “Victory Lap” through campus in Storrs.
UConn released the details Tuesday night. Here you go:
STORRS, Conn. (April 7, 2015) — The 2015 NCAA national champion University of Connecticut women’s basketball team and its travel party will leave Tampa via charter flight at 1:00 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, April 8, 2015. The team is expected to return to Bradley International Airport at approximately 3:45 p.m. EDT. There will be no public event at the airport.
The team will then return to campus for a National Champions “Victory Lap” through campus beginning at approximately 5:15 p.m. The team will ride in an open-air double decker bus and will be accompanied by the UConn pep band and cheerleaders.
The “Victory Lap” will have a new route this year and will begin at the Mansfield Town Square in Storrs Center, located on Route 195/Storrs Road.
The “Victory Lap” will leave Storrs Center, head north on Route 195 before making a quick turn onto Mansfield Road to enter campus. The team will then turn onto Gilbert Road (past the South and West Campus and Alumni residence halls) and right onto Hillside Road (past McMahon Hall and the UConn Co-Op) before arriving at Gampel Pavilion.
Upon conclusion of the “Victory Lap” there will be a brief speaking program at the North Entrance of Gampel Pavilion – near the Husky Dog statue.
Fans can track the Huskies exact progress from Bradley International Airport to campus with updates from Twitter at @UConnWBB.
Parking for the event on campus will be available in both the North and South Parking Garages. For those wishing to park at Storrs Center, there is free two-hour parking in that garage.
