Azzi Fudd and Ilona Maher reflected on their Connecticut college careers during a workout on Maher's new digital series.
Two prominent women in sports, Ilona Maher and Azzi Fudd, share their experiences from Connecticut and the world of college athletics. Maher, a former rugby player for Quinnipiac University, was drawn to the state because of its strong rugby and nursing programs. Fudd, a former basketball player for the University of Connecticut (UConn), joined Maher for a digital show, Power Hour, where they discussed their college experiences.
Maher regretted the recent decision by the university to discontinue the rugby program, while Fudd highlighted the difference between the passion and team spirit of UConn fans and those of other NCAA fanbases. The duo also touched on the influence of Connecticut's location near New York City on their careers, mentioning events like New York Fashion Week and collaborations with designers. Fudd recently underwent surgery for a knee injury that ended her WNBA rookie season.
