Note: The UConn WBB team will hold special pre-game ceremony before Wednesday’s game in honor of the tragic incidents that took place at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown last Friday. Fans are asked to be in their seats for these games by 6:50 p.m. for the ceremonies. In response to the grief and shock accompanying the tragedy in Newtown last Friday, the University of Connecticut has created a memorial scholarship fund to honor those who died. The Sandy Hook School Memorial Scholarship Fund at the University of Connecticut will cover college costs for any students who currently attend the elementary school, as well as siblings of those killed in the assault and dependents of teachers and other adults who also lost their lives, who are accepted to attend the University in the future. UConn’s Hall of Fame women’s basketball coach Geno Auriemma and his wife, Kathy, have made an $80,000 lead gift to the fund. Donations will be collected through the University of Connecticut Foundation to establish a fund in anticipation of supporting the Sandy Hook Elementary students enrolled in the K-4 grades today who will be of college age beginning in approximately 2021. For siblings and dependents of those who died, funds will be immediately expendable to provide them with scholarship assisstance. To the extent that funds are available, they will be awarded on the basis of financial need. If any funds remain once the needs of the groups above have been met, they will be used to benefit any future students from Newtown who attend UConn.

W Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis' outstanding offense, the Huskies pulled away late to defeat Penn State, 67-52. There were so many fouls called in this game, that neither team could get into any kind of rhythm and both teams' coaches actually tried to get thrown out so they didn't have to stay any longer than necessary.

Stat of the Game: Turnovers: UConn 17, Maryland 26

Summary: The game wasn't pretty, not by a long stretch, but a win is a win. Led by UConn All-American candidate Sr. G Kelly Faris' offense and superb defense, UConn held Maryland at bay long enough to pull off the victory, 63-48. Faris held Maryland's 1st Team All-American Jr. F Alyssa Thomas to just 6pts. on 2 of 12 shooting and forced her into 8 TO's all while having a near quadruple-double herself with 8pts., 7rebs, 7asts., and a career-high 8stls. Fellow UConn All-American candidates Jr. C Stefanie Dolson and Fr. F Breanna Stewart chipped in 14p/8r and 13p/6r, respectively. UConn's offense struggled for the first time this season yet its defense was stellar all game holding Maryland to 35% shooting and forcing them into 26 TO's. UConn So. G Brianna Banks continues to impress off the bench scoring 11pts. and hitting some tough 3's down the stretch to end any hope of a Maryland comeback while fellow So. W Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis left the game late in the 1st half with a quad contusion and is listed as questionable for Thursday's game at home against 10/10 Penn State.

UConn So. G Brianna Banks made the Big East Weekly Honor Roll after scoring a career-high 20pts. to go along with 3rebs., 5asts., and 4stls. in a 1-0 week for Connecticut. Banks, who had more threes in this one game (4) than all of last season combined (3), led the Huskies to a 101-41 victory over Colgate last Wednesday (their only game for the week).
