Jasmin Tripathy On Choosing Massachusetts

"I chose UMass because, from the moment I met the team, it felt like this is where I belong. The girls brought me into the fold without any hesitation and the care that Coach JC puts into each and every players' collegiate experience really stood out to me. I am so excited to be a Minutewoman!"

Juancarlos Nunez On Jasmin Tripathy

"I'm very excited for the addition of Jasmin to our team for the 2018-19 season. Her connection with the team and with our goals for the program was evident when she visited earlier this fall. She is a tough competitor and exemplifies everything we're looking to build our team around on and off the court."
