Tina Charles said after the UConn Huskies women’s basketball team won the 2009 NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Championship that she wanted to meet President Barack Obama.
Well now she’ll get that opportunity as she and her teammates have been invited to the White House on Monday afternoon at 2 PM to meet with President Obama.
“The President congratulated Coach Auriemma on his team’s undefeated year and was impressed to learn that UConn had only one senior who started in the title game. Coach Auriemma put center Tina Charles on the phone, and the President congratulated her on a great game and for going 11 for 13 from the floor, but jokingly asked what happened with the other two shots. The President told Coach Auriemma that he’s looking forward to seeing him and the rest of the Huskies at the White House.”
