The University of Connecticut women’s basketball team is “certified to provide White Housetours” after its frequent victories and visits to the executive mansion, President Barack Obama said Tuesday. Obama honored the team for its third straight national title and 10th overall. The UConn women won the 2015 NCAA championship in April with a 63-53 victory over Notre Dame. The president also cited the team’s academic achievements and work in the Hartford community, an effort that includes hosting Thanksgiving and winter food drives, a Christmas party for terminally ill children, basketball clinics and bike drives. – Stacy Anderson, abc NEWS- Read More
