Nika only had 2 rebounds in the championship game you may have been thinking of the Semi-finals game against Stanford where she got 8. One remarkable thing about the championship game was UCONN players using fairly good technique as far as boxing out. It was as if they were so intent on boxing out that they forgot to actually get the rebound.
Chica? I thought she was French?
until then why not just lou ... works for me ... in the normal flow here nobody should think we're referencing katie lou ... or so i would certainly hope
Lou2 or Lou Squared
Born in Mexico.
Born in Mexico, grew up in Grenoble, France.
I suspect when it comes to defense she's pretty tough. In the NCAA first round game with Texas she took a good hit to the face toward the end of the first quarter. An elbow she thought; she didn't see it. She went to the locker room and took stitching and bandaging and went out and played the rest of the game. My kind of hockey player.
Wow Dogstar, your post looks very familiar...........
Dogstar copied and pasted my post. He/she must have really liked it.I don't think that they have learned how to use the edit button yet.
Keep in mind that she will be playing with new/different players that are more talented, and playing for a different coach with different needs and expectations of her. Yes, she will be playing against better teams than she did at Fairfield, but she'll have better players around her as well. Geno and staff would not have brought her in if they didn't think she could help them next season. She's a 1 year rental. She only has 1 more year of eligibility left.
I believe that they were trying to say "exactly" to the copied portion of your post but didn't use the quote button. At least that's what I hoped they had done.
Mom is French. Dad, Mexican. She has both French and Mexican nationalities. I found this article.
For the most part Americans (me included) are really pathetic when it comes to mastering foreign languages...... I have many European friends and every one of them speaks a minimum of two languages, most speak three and some speak four or five.......Mom is French. Dad, Mexican.

Fairfield basketball standout Lou Lopez Senechal is seeking new challenge. Could she land at UConn?
Lou Lopez Senechal, who averaged 19.6 points as a senior at Fairfield, is in the transfer...www.ctinsider.com
Here’s the most interesting passage for me.
« Lopez-Senechal is the daughter of a Mexican photographer, father Carlos, and a globetrotting aspiring model, mother Sophie, who left France for Mexico and met her husband during a photo shoot.
Lopez-Senechal was born in Guadalajara, Mexico’s second-largest city, and lived there until she was 5, when her parents divorced. She spent most of her childhood in Grenoble, France, surrounded by the Alps, near the borders of Switzerland and Italy. She played club basketball from ages 8-18 before spending a year in Ireland at the North Atlantic Basketball Academy.
That move helped her, once again, adapt to a new culture. Already fluent in Spanish and French, she studied English and, with great help from her stepfather, Tim Presto, an American expatriate who had met Sophie while working in France, continually reached out to colleges, setting up campus visits. »
Lou has a French accent when she speaks English.
LOL, I thought you copied Dogstar's post .....
If memory serves me right, I believe Christyn Williams had the nickname “Squeaks” before she got to UCONN.
I actually " lifted " it from you, it was the perfect statement, I didn't thk tht the copyright police would issue a warrant for me, I plead not guilty of any charges based on the grounds tht imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so I feel tht You should feel immortalized . HahaWow Dogstar, your post looks very familiar...........
Post #213 that I wrote today at 10:13 am ET:
"Since that's her "current" nick name, I agree, let's go with that. No need to re-invent the wheel. If she's cool with it , so am I.
If we (and her new teammates) call her by a name she beings with her from Fairfield, that will make her feel more at home, and more importantly, that she is accepted as one of them. If you call me "Chica", you accept me as I am, and as the baller it says I am. Think about it.
I know BY'ers like to give new players a nick name. I'm more comfortable with allowing her teammates to give her a moniker than trying to be creative and come up with one myself. It's hard to give someone you don't know and have never met a nick name.
A nick name is not valid unless it sticks. I remember when Christian Williams was a freshman. Several names was suggested by yarders, none of which stuck. Her teammates gave her the nick name of "squeaks." THAT one stuck."
Exactly!

Grenoble! Wow, just like Andre the Giant.
We’ve already had a Lou come through, so the new Lou has to be Lou2. It’s just what we do.
That is an impressively random fact. Kudos!
It was nothing about the players we lost I’m referring to if we want we have more scholarships available
