STORRS, Conn. – Natalie Butler, who was selected as the 2013-14 Big East Rookie of the Year while competing at Georgetown University, has signed a financial aid agreement to complete her transfer to the University of Connecticut.
Due to NCAA transfer rules, Butler will be forced to sit out the 2014-15 season and she will have three years of eligibility beginning with the 2015-16 campaign.
“I think Natalie is one of the most unique players in the game today,” head coach Geno Auriemma said. “There just aren’t many 6-5 players in the country and we just had a great one for the last four years, so we know. Natalie has the potential to be just as good and we are very excited for her to get on campus.”
