A New Chapter for the Huskies
Marine Dursus, a 20‑year‑old shooting guard from France, has officially committed to the University of Connecticut’s women’s basketball program, adding a reliable scorer and defensive presence to the Huskies’ lineup for the upcoming season.
During the 2025 U20 Eurobasket, she helped France capture the championship, contributing 17 points in the final and earning a spot on the all‑tournament team while averaging 13.8 points and 4.2 rebounds per game.
Currently playing in the top French women’s professional division for Angers Basket, Dursus is posting 9.9 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game, demonstrating her ability to compete against senior competition.
Freshmen Additions
Olivia Vukosa, a 6‑foot‑4 blue‑chip recruit, arrives as the most highly rated big player in her class, bringing size, versatility and a polished offensive skill set.
Jovana Popovic, a guard from Serbia, joins the roster with a reputation for sharp shooting and playmaking, qualities that should enrich the backcourt dynamics.
The combination of Dursus’s international experience and the fresh talent of Vukosa and Popovic has generated excitement among fans and analysts, who anticipate that UConn will remain a powerhouse in collegiate women’s basketball.
