UNCASVILLE, Conn. (AP) — Jennifer Rizzotti, who was the point guard on UConn's first national championship team before playing professionally and then becoming a college basketball coach, has been named president of the WNBA's Connecticut Sun.
Rizzotti, who was part of two WNBA championships with the Houston Comets, will be responsible for the overall business operations and marketing strategies for the team, the Sun announced Tuesday.
