HI everyone! My name is Ashley and I’m a Senior Music major from Torrington, CT.

Hey everybody!
First off, we won our 6th home game against Rutgers with a score of 38-19, for a record of 8-1. It’s the first time in UConn history that we’ve had that good of a record!

The past month has been really crazy!!!
The big things that have happened included winning the Louisville game a few weeks ago! It was another big win for UConn, espeically after losing the week before to Virginia.
After that we had Lip Sync. Lip Sync is a UConn tradition where a bunch of organizations have a 7 minute show following a theme. This year’s theme was Superheroes and Villians. As the
