Geno Auriemma Sets NCAA Wins Record at UConn

Geno Auriemma achieved a historic milestone by becoming the all-time winningest coach in NCAA college basketball history with his 1,217th victory as UConn defeated Fairleigh Dickinson 85-41. This achievement surpasses Tara VanDerveer's previous record and highlights Auriemma's remarkable career since he began coaching UConn in 1985. The game also marked the return of star guard Azzi Fudd, who had not played since suffering a torn ACL last season, receiving a warm welcome from the crowd. Paige Bueckers led the Huskies with 16 points, while freshman Sarah Strong contributed 20 points, showcasing UConn's depth as they prepare for upcoming challenges. UConn's victory celebration included over 60 alumni, reflecting the program's rich history and success. The Huskies will next compete in the Baha Mar Women's Championship against Oregon State on November 25.
