Kara Wolters, a member of UConn's first national championship team and the 1997 national player of the year, is one of 12 finalists on the ballot for the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame.
Wolters ranks eighth in UConn history with a 15.6 scoring average and third with 370 career blocked shots, would join former teammates Rebecca Lobo and Jen Rizzotti as former Huskies inducted into the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame if she is one of six people named as part of the class of 2017 on Feb. 12.
There are two other candidates with Connecticut ties.
