The Huskies will celebrate in the state capital this weekend.
After winning the program’s 12th national championship, UConn women’s basketball will be honored with a victory parade and rally in Hartford on Saturday, Apr. 12, Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont announced.
It’ll begin at 11 a.m. from the State Capitol building at the intersection of Trinity and Elm Street, traveling north through the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Arch before hanging a right onto Jewell Street and finally turning onto Trumbull Street, where it’ll conclude in front of the XL Center. The rally is expected to kick off around 11:30 a.m.
The city is plenty familiar with hosting parades recently. UConn men’s basketball celebrated in the streets each of the last two years while the two programs have won a combined 18 titles since 1995.
The festivities will be funded exclusively through private donations and sponsorship opportunities.
