UConn's Bueckers Honored With Spot On Good Works Team

STORRS, CT —UConn women’s basketball redshirt senior Paige Bueckers has been named to the inaugural Allstate NACDA Good Works Team for winter sports.

The announcement was made Wednesday by Allstate and the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics.

The Good Works Team recognizes 20 standout student-athletes across collegiate winter sports for their "exceptional achievements in community service, athletics and academics. This marks the first-ever expansion of the Good Works Team to include student-athletes from all collegiate sports and divisions.

Off the court, Bueckers has been committed to having an impact in her communities. She has provided support to tackling food insecurity and expanding youth sports access in both Connecticut and her home state of Minnesota. Bueckers has included charity and community engagement in her NIL opportunities.

Bueckers has volunteered with the Husky Harvest food pantry, the Special Olympics, Team Impact, Connecticut Children's Medical Center and the Make a Wish Foundation.

Bueckers was the 2023-24 BIG EAST Scholar Athlete of the Year and a CSC First Team Academic All-American. She earned a degree in human development and family sciences from UConn in 2024.

The final team was voted on by the program's selection committee from a pool of nearly 200 nominees nationwide. The student-athletes represent nine winter sports and five collegiate divisions, demonstrating the far-reaching impact of student- athletes in their communities.

Announced in December 2024, the Allstate NACDA Good Works Team builds on the legacy of the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team, which has honored college football players' community impact since 1992. Now expanded to include all sanctioned national championship sports, the initiative will recognize 60 student-athletes annually across fall, winter and spring seasons.
