Summary: It was raining three's in Gampel tonight as the Huskies hit a UConn record 10 three's in the first half last night led by Caroline Doty, who was 5-7 from deep finishing with 17p/3r/3a/1s in 29mins. UConn only committed for 4 fouls the entire game which led to no free throws for Richmond in the 86-37 victory. Tiffany Hayes had the best game of her sophomore season doing a little bit of everything as she finished with 15p/7r and a career-high 7asts. with no turnovers in 30mins. UConn All-Americans Tina Charles and Maya Moore weren't needed much and as a result both had quiet evenings finishing with 13p/5r/2a/1b in 18mins and 11p/6r/3a/2s in 29mins., respectively. Freshman Kelly Faris also had the best game of her early career coming off the bench to end up with a career-high 12pts. to go along with 5r/1a/2s in 23mins. Kaili McLaren continues to impress everyone with her passing ability. She's often so good her teammates are even expecting the beautiful feed, however, did finish the game with 4a with no turnovers and 4p/2r/1s/1b in a season-high 22mins. Overall, it was another day at the office for the UConn women imposing their intensity and will on the Spiders defensively while also shooting lights out from the floor and deep. Their one area of weakness continues to be free throw shooting. They finished 7-11 from the line for 64% and are only 73% for the season.
