Storrs, Conn./WTIC Radio - UConn women's basketball guard Azzi Fudd has announced she'll return for the 2025-26 season.

The 5-foot-11 grad student made the announcement on the heels of the Huskies advancing to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA women's tournament with a win Monday night over South Dakota State.

In two NCAA tournament games thus far, Fudd is averaging better than 22 points per game.

For the season she averaged 13.4 ppg.

Fudd's collegiate career has been marred somewhat by injuries.

She appeared in 30 contests during the regular season after having logged just two and 15 games, respectively in the two prior seasons.

Next up for the second-seeded Huskies: a date with third-seed Oklahoma in Spokane Saturday at 5:30 p.m.
