Kingston native Edwards and the Huskies will be making their first appearance in the Final Four since 2021, which she thinks is fitting for her ‘last dance’
Aaliyah Edwards immediately lit up with a smile, thinking of the support she’d received from her home country.
Edwards projects to be a top-five pick in the coming WNBA draft – the highest for a Canadian since Stacey Dales was selected third overall in 2002. Edwards leaned on Nurse when deciding what school she would commit to in 2019, which comforted her heading into her freshman year. She said carrying the torch of the Canadian legacy at UConn has also allowed her the opportunity to pave her own path as an international player in a historically dominant program.
“I’m just more confident in my own skin,” Edwards said. “Coming into this summer it’s more of a shift for me that I’m kind of being in the leadership role. Obviously, there are older and more experienced teammates that I have alongside me, but I’m kind of in that same pool of athletes.”Edwards and the Huskies will be making their first appearance in the Final Four since 2021, which she thinks is fitting for her “last dance.
