LYNX WILL HEAD TO WHITE HOUSE ON MONDAY
The WNBA champion Minnesota Lynx will make the trip to the White House to be recognized by President Barack Obama.

The 2015 Lynx squad featured four former UConn stars who know a thing or two about ceremonies at the White House but none more than Maya Moore, who has been on receiving end of barbs from President Obama for her many trips to D.C. in previous ceremonies. Renee Montgomery, who had a game-winning 3-pointer in Minnesota's recent win over previously undefeated Los Angeles, Asjha Jones and Kalana Greene were also members of the championship team.

The ceremony is set for 4:45 p.m at the East Room of the White House/
