STORRS, Conn. (AP) -- UConn scored the first seven points of the game, and jumped out to an 11-3 lead.

But Hollins kept the Bearcats in the game, scoring the team's first 13 points and Cincinnati trailed just 17-13 midway through the first half. Hollins hit six of her 10 shots from the floor in the half. The rest of her team made just one of 11.

"It was frustrating, to think we go into the game knowing that was their best player and that was who was going to drive their offense," UConn guard Kelly Faris said. "We kind of lose concentration on stuff like that, little things and paying attention."

A 3-pointer by Mosqueda-Lewis extended the lead back to 10 points at 26-16, part of a 21-3 UConn run, and the Huskies led 42-19 at the half. Read More...
