Roster changes

[edit]

Five players from the 2000–01 team (Shea Ralph,Svetlana Abrosimova,Kelly Schumacher, Christine Rigby, and Marci Czel) were seniors and are no longer part of the team.^[2] One sophomore player, Kennitra Johnson, decided to leave UConn to be closer to her mother, and transferred toPurdue.^[3] Two freshmen joined the team: Ashley Valley, younger sister ofMorgan Valley, and Stacey Marron. Although Marron had received scholarship offers from other schools, she chose to apply to UConn and attempt to make the team as awalk-on. She succeeded, and eventually earned a full scholarship, the first Connecticut walk-on to earn a basketball scholarship.^[4]

Two other players were not new to the program, but 2001–2002 was their first full season.Ashley Battle was a freshman in the prior year, but sustained an elbow injury in the fifth game of the season, and did not play the remainder of the season.^[5] Battle applied for a medical hardship, often called aredshirt.Jessica Moore also joined the team in the prior year, but elected not to play her first year.^[6]
