STORRS, Conn. – UConn women's basketball head coach Geno Auriemma announced the addition of transfer forward Serah Williams to the program for the 2025-26 season.

"I believe that Serah was one of the top players in the country, not only this past year, but in her career at Wisconsin," Auriemma said. "We're absolutely thrilled to have her coming to Connecticut. She's a great addition to our program. Her experience, her versatility and her ability to play at a really high level on both ends of the floor are going to be a great asset for us. I think as a person, she fits in perfectly with our team."

A 6-foot-4 native of Brooklyn, N.Y., Williams played three seasons at Wisconsin for former UConn assistant coach Marisa Moseley. Williams has one season of eligibility remaining.

"When I first stepped on campus at UConn and met the players and staff, it felt like the right place for me to spend my last year in college both on and off the court," Williams said. "The winning environment and atmosphere were everything I was looking for."
