Field Hockey
STORRS, Conn. – Former University of Connecticut head field hockey coaches Diane Wright and Nancy Stevens combined to win five NCAA Division I National Championships, over 900 games, and most importantly, made a positive impact on the lives of countless UConn student-athletes. The duo were trailblazers in collegiate athletics, and tirelessly and effectively advocated for a more equitable experience for women in sports throughout their hall of fame careers.
To honor the duo’s contributions to the University of Connecticut, and to continue the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the landmark federal Title IX legislation, the indelible contributions by Wright and Stevens were marked permanently in two prominent University locations prior to Sunday’s field hockey game against Boston College, capping of UConn’s Women’s Weekend celebration.
This road that runs in between Gampel Pavilion and the Werth Family Champions Center and extends to the area in between the Greer Field House and the George J. Sherman Family Sports Complex, will from today on be known as Diane Wright Way. The Sherman Complex, which is home to the UConn field hockey program, will now be referred to as Nancy Stevens Field at the George J. Sherman Complex.
