The UConn Huskies secured the 15th win of their 2024-25 season on Saturday when they defeated the Georgetown Hoyas on the road by a score of 73-55.

With Paige Bueckers still out with the knee sprain she suffered earlier in the month, the Huskies had to rely on Azzi Fudd on offense; and Fudd delivered, scoring a team-high 21 points on 8 of 13 shooting (including 5 of 8 from three-point range) to secure the victory.

It wasn’t a normal away game for Fudd. She grew up in Arlington, Virginia, which is just a few miles from Georgetown, and her mother Katie also played three seasons of college basketball at Georgetown from 1998 to 2001.

That’s why this game was a homecoming for them. And according to a Jan. 9 article by CT Insider’s Maggie Vanoni: “The Fudds … estimate that about 40 to 45 people (‘at least’) will be in the stands Saturday to cheer on Azzi, including family, friends and alumni .”Teammates.”

Fudd put on a great performance in front of these friends and family. After the game, she was honest about what this homecoming meant to her.

“I mean, it feels amazing,” Fudd said, according to an X post from SNY, when asked how it felt to get a win in her first appearance at the Georgetown Arena. “Every game I get to play with my teammates is incredible. To be surrounded by even more family tonight is really special.”

“When I look into the crowd now, it’s the first time I’ve actually looked into the crowd to see who’s here and I’m like, ‘Wow. They have come.’ “Some of these faces I haven’t seen in so long,” Fudd continued.

“It’s just a special moment.”

It’s cool to see Fudd enjoying a moment that she’s certainly been waiting for her entire college career.
