After a dominant 91-57 victory over South Dakota State that propelled them into the Sweet 16, the UConn Huskies women’s basketball team has officially secured a game-changing addition to their roster. Serah Williams, a 6-foot-4 All-Big Ten forward from Wisconsin, has committed to UConn via the transfer portal, sources close to the program confirm.
A Strategic Move for UConn’s Future
Williams, one of the most sought-after transfers in the nation, made her decision after witnessing UConn’s recent success and the program’s continued dominance in March Madness. With her addition, the Huskies gain a proven post presence who averaged 19.2 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 2.3 blocks per game last season at Wisconsin.
Her defensive strength and scoring ability in the paint make her a perfect fit for Geno Auriemma’s system, especially as the team looks to replace key departing players like Aaliyah Edwards and potentially Paige Bueckers.
Building on Momentum
This move is part of UConn’s broader effort to reinforce its roster following recent successes. Earlier this season, the Huskies also secured a commitment from Blanca Quiñonez, a rising star from Ecuador, along with Kelis Fisher and Gandy Malou-Mamel in the Class of 2025.
Williams’ commitment solidifies UConn’s frontcourt depth and ensures that the Huskies remain a championship-caliber team in the seasons to come.
Looking Ahead
With their Sweet 16 matchup against Oklahoma on March 29, the Huskies are focused on the present but now also have their eyes set on future dominance. Serah Williams will officially join the team in the 2025-26 season, adding experience, size, and skill to an already formidable squad.
UConn fans can now celebrate both a major tournament win and a massive recruiting victory—proving that the Huskies remain one of the most attractive destinations in college basketball.
