7 New Honorees Elected to CT Women's Basketball Hall of Fame

CONNECTICUT — Seven individuals have been elected as the Class of 2020 of the Connecticut Women's Basketball Hall of Fame, and will be honored at an induction ceremony in late September.

The Connecticut Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame was the first organization of its kind in the country. It was created in 1987 by five professional and personal friends who strongly felt the need to honor outstanding basketball players, coaches, officials, and advocates. The Hall of Fame honors those who have contributed to the enhancement of women’s basketball in Connecticut, either through participation, through service, through support or through achievement.
