HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) --- Sarah Strong had 18 points, eight rebounds, four
assists and four steals and Azzi Fudd added 16 points as top-ranked UConn
overcame a slow shooting start to roll to an 84-48 win over Seton Hall on
Saturday.
It was UConn's (15-0, 6-0 Big East) 31st win in a row. The Huskies also
extended their Big East regular-season winning streak to 44 games, with the
last 42 wins by at least 10 points.
Allie Ziebell made four 3-pointers for 12 points off the bench. KK Arnold
returned for UConn after missing the previous game with a nasal fracture. She
finished with five points, five assists and five steals in 20 minutes. UConn
finished with 20 steals for its fourth game with at least that many this season.
Jordana Codio had 12 points --- as well as 10 turnovers --- and Mariana
Valenzuela had eight points for Seton Hall (10-5, 4-2), which was playing
without third-leading scorer Jada Eads. Savannah Catalon had nine of her 11
points in the fourth quarter.
UConn missed 13 of its first 17 shots, including six in a row at one point. But
Ziebell and Fudd hit 3-pointers and Strong added a long jumper as the Huskies
ended the first quarter on an 8-0 run to take a 19-11 lead heading into the
second quarter.
Fudd had nine points in the first quarter and Strong had eight points in the
second quarter to give the Huskies a 38-18 halftime lead. The Huskies had a
20-0 run in the third quarter on the way to winning their 42nd in a row against
Seton Hall.
