El Alfy also mentioned how her teammates helped her to get through the period ( via ESPN's Instagram post). She said:

“It’s definitely tough…I try as much as I can to fuel whenever it's time to eat and manage it with playing…It wasn't easy at all. But my teammates really helped with that, and the staff, they were all supportive. I feel like I'm blessed and grateful to be surrounded with this group. It's really really special group.”

The UConn Huskies won the NCAA Women's Championship with 91 in the second round.

"Soaking in the ✨ joy ✨ at home. I’m so excited to get back at it soon in Augusta, GA with my @golfoncbs team but I never take this March break for granted. I find myself really focusing on gratitude and intentionality around small daily routines that fill me up and remind me what really matters (spoiler: it’s community, health, dogs and coffee) here’s a day in the life of what brings me joy. Also would love to hear what “small” daily thing you do that brings you joy ☺️."
