Lorin Dixon
Great article on Lorin Dixon in today's NY Times.
"Lorin Dixon arrived at Connecticut four years ago out of Christ the King High School in Queens with high hopes as a point guard and admittedly low self-assurance. Her career has slapped back and forth like windshield wipers between confidence and self-doubt.
Then, a month ago, the imminent ending of her career brought clarity and resolve. “You either do it now or you ain’t going to get a chance,” Dixon said the other day. “So why not? You have nothing to lose.”
She is only 5 feet 4 inches, the smallest player on UConn’s roster, but on Sunday, Dixon had the biggest impact on a 68-63 victory over Georgetown in the semifinals of the Philadelphia Region. It was a wild come-from-behind win, foiling what would have been one of the biggest upsets in women’s N.C.A.A. tournament history and demonstrating the Huskies’ fierce determination to prevail."
Fantastic to see her play so well and be recognized for it!
