NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The UConn and Vanderbilt women's basketball teams have set up a home-and-home series for the 2027-28 and 2028-29 seasons.
The two teams will face off Nov. 14, 2027, in Connecticut. They’ll meet again Nov. 19, 2028, at Vanderbilt’s Memorial Gymnasium.
This announcement comes at a time when UConn and Vanderbilt are the only two unbeaten Division I women's teams. UConn (19-0) is ranked first and Vanderbilt (19-0) is fifth in the AP Top 25 poll.
Vanderbilt coach Shea Ralph played for Huskies coach Geno Auriemma at UConn from 1996-2001. Ralph led UConn to the 2000 national title and was the most outstanding player of the Final Four that year.
Ralph also was an assistant coach on Auriemma’s UConn staff from 2008-21 before Vanderbilt hired her as head coach.
UConn leads the all-time series 6-2. Their most recent meeting was a UConn 64-51 victory at Vanderbilt on Nov. 13, 2019.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Several countries have said they will join U.S. President Donald Trump's Board of Peace, while a few European nations have declined their invitations. Many have not yet responded to Trump's invites.

But the Trump administration’s ambitions have since expanded, with Trump extending invitations to dozens of nations and hinting at the board’s future role as conflict mediator.
A White House official has said about 30 countries were expected to join the board, without providing details, while about 50 had been invited.
