WWUH Broadcasts Enter The 11th Season

The Hawks and WWUH Prove Championship Pair

  WWUH Presents the Eleventh Season of Women's Basketball Last year was special in more ways than one for WWUH and University of Hartford women's basketball. On Feb. 2, it was designated WWUH night at Chase Arena in the Reich Family Pavilion. WWUH General Manager John Ramsey accepted a cake and applause at center court in recognition of a 10-year association between the station and the rapidly emerging Hawks' program.

  On the court, coach Jen Rizzotti led Hartford to its second America East championship in four years and a trip to the NCAA Tournament. This year promises more excitement as the Hawks return all but two players from last year's championship season. Among them are America East All-Rookie Team member Danielle Hood and all-conference honorees Erika Messam (second team) and Ikea Witt (third team). The Hawks will play 26 regular season games in 2005-06. Highlighting the schedule are matches with the University of Connecticut, Miami, and Seton Hall.

  Jon Easterbrook '87, '90, a member of WWUH's public affairs department in the 1980s and director of marketing services at the university, returns for his 11th year as the voice of Hartford women's basketball. He will be joined by a new color analyst in Jesse Ullmann, whose diverse and global broadcasting experiences include covering the 2003 Australian Open tennis tournament in Melbourne and serving as a news correspondent for Radio Works New Zealand.
