VIDEO: UConn teams visit White House, player falls off stage
It was a day to remember for the University of Connecticut's men's and women's basketball players.
But for Stefanie Dolson, it was one she would rather soon forget.
President Barack Obama welcomed both teams to the White House on Monday to honor their NCAA championships. It marked the second time a school has won both titles in the same year (UConn, 2004).

The teams posed, joked, laughed and celebrated with the President in what promises to be among the highlights of their career.
Dolson, the Huskies' leading rebounder this season, will remember Monday differently than her teammates.
She will likely remember it as the day she fell off the stage in front of the President.
