RETIREMENT INSURANCE MUTUAL FUNDS TRUST SERVICES TUITION FINANCING
Deferring taxes with TIAA-CREF can be so rewarding, you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner.

And your contributions to SRAs grow undiminished by taxes until you withdraw the funds. $ ^{1}$ Add to that TIAA-CREF's solid investment performance, bolstered by our commitment to keeping expenses low, and you have more money working for you.
So why wait? Let us help you build a comfortable retirement today with tax-deferred SRAs. We think you will find it rewarding in the years to come.
INVEST AS LITTLE AS
INVEST AS LITTLE AS $25 a month through an automatic payroll plan²
IT'S EASY TO SAVE MORE THROUGH THE POWER OF TAX DEFERRAL
In this hypothetical example, setting aside $100 a month in a tax-deferred investment with an 8% return in a 20% tax bracket shows better growth than the same net amount put into a savings account^3

True, Connecticut lost once this season. But it was by one point to Tennessee, the same Tennessee team the Huskies defeated in Knoxville earlier in the season, the same team they dismantled 71-52 in Sunday night's championship game to complete the run through the NCAA tournament.
Connecticut (36-1) averaged 91.3 points in its six NCAA games and had an average victory margin of 31. No game was closer than 15. The 19-point margin against Tennessee was the second largest in a championship game.
In 1998, Tennessee averaged 88.5 points in the tournament and won by an average of 25, but had to fight for its life to beat North Carolina 76-70 in the regional finals. The Lady Vols won by 18 in the title game.
It has the makings of a lively debate, but it might sell the team short. How about comparing this team to the 1997-98 Tennessee team that went 39-0 and is considered the best ever in the women's game?
Tide turns toward Huskies for basketball supremacy
the Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — Now that Connecticut has won its second championship in women's basketball, its fans can start arguing: Who was better? This team or the one that went 35-0 in winning the 1995 title?
With Connecticut returning almost everyone next season, the title might be turning in the battle for supremacy in women's basketball. Even after its 1995 title, UConn had been chasing Tennessee through the final years of the decade
Tennessee is a tough team," said Connecticut's Shea Ralph. "They have upheld a tradition for as long as I've known the game of basketball and watched it — as long as I've known I wanted to play at this level.
"Then UConn came around and they have challenged them. I think being a part of this rivalry is something very, very special."

The championship certainly was special for UConn coach Geno Auriemma, who grew up in the Philadelphia area and had dozens of friends and family members among the crowd of 20,060 at the First Union Center.
Judging b
what happened
Sunday night,
the Huskies
have caught
up — or per-
haps taken the
lead.
"This team ... is going to go down
a great team because of the way
Ensuring the future for those who shape it.
"You know
they gave up of themselves," Auriemma said. "A lot of these kids were questioned repeatedly about, wouldn't you be happier playing somewhere else, playing more minutes, scoring more points or doing this and doing that.
"The fact that they were able to put that aside and win a national championship, I think this team sacrificed more and deserves everything it got."
"We know that eventually we won a national championship, so we just have to repeat that."
Better next season? It's possible. Connecticut loses only Paige Sauer and Stacy Hansmeyer off this team. Neither started late in the season, and each averaged just 3.9 points.
And now, the Huskies want more. "This season we had a great team, and I think next year is going to be even better," said All-American Svetlana Abrosimova. "For a whole year, coach was telling us we have to be perfect, we have to make perfect passes, play great defense.
Plus, there's a top-five recruiting class coming in, led by Diana Taurasi, the national player of the year.
"We're just going to enjoy this and everything about this," she said.
"We've worked so hard this year, and we're going to enjoy every minute of it. I think we deserve it."
