UConn has won 12 NCAA women’s basketball championships, all of which have come under Auriemma’s tenure.
The Huskies’ 12 national titles are the most by any women’s basketball program and tied for the most with the UCLA men’s team for the most in Division I college basketball, men’s or women’s.
Auriemma and UConn won their first national championship in 1995 against Pat Summit and Tennessee. The Huskies would then add four more in a span of five years from 2000-2004, with UConn three-peating from 2002-04 with star-studded talents such as Sue Bird, Swin Cash and Diana Taurasi.
Then UConn would win back-to-back titles in 2009 and 2010 with Renee Montgomery, Maya Moore and Tina Charles, before Breanna Stewart led them to an unprecedented four in a row from 2013-16.
