UConn Women's Basketball Program To Face Duke In Three-Season Series

STORRS, CT — The University of Connecticut Friday announced a new women's basketball series against Duke.

The Huskies will play Duke in each of the next three seasons. They will first compete at TD Garden in Boston on Nov. 28 of next season.

The game marks the start of the three-season arrangement.

TD Garden President Glen Thornborough expressed enthusiasm for the event.

"We are thrilled to bring a marquee women's college basketball matchup between the UConn Huskies and Duke Blue Devils to TD Garden," he said, while adding, "Boston is a city that lives and breathes championship basketball, and hosting these two powerhouse programs gives fans the chance to experience the very best of the women’s game on one of basketball’s most iconic stages."

UConn season ticket holders and Husky Athletic Fund members will have an exclusive chance to purchase tickets for the TD Garden game, UConn Athletics officials said. "Information regarding this ticket offer will be provided to them in the near future."

UConn sophomore Sarah Strong, a native of Durham, will be a senior when the Huskies play in her hometown. Strong’s mother, Allison Feaster, serves as the Boston Celtics Vice President of Team Operations and Organizational Growth.
