Nika Mühl didn’t have the type of impact she hoped for in the NCAA Tournament. In UConn’s first game against High Point, the freshman guard rolled her ankle and needed to be helped off the court. She missed the next three games and clearly wasn’t herself even after returning in the Final Four.
After the season ended, Mühl returned home to Croatia and decided to give her ankle some time to heal. At least, she tried to.
“When I got home I took a week off from my ankle and then I said, ‘That’s enough,’” she said with a laugh.
