HARTFORD, Conn. | Freshman Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis matched her career high with 25 points, and Bria Hartley added 19, helping No. 2 Connecticut beat third-ranked Stanford 68-58 on Monday night.
Mosqueda-Lewis and Hartley carried the Huskies, 3-0, for the first 25 minutes as the rest of UConn couldn’t make a shot. “I think me and Bria play really well off of each other,” Mosqueda-Lewis said. “When one of us isn’t scoring, one shoots the other is going in to rebound. “If one is making defense plays, the other one is there to back ’em up.” These two teams have developed a vigorous rivalry over the last few years. Before Monday, they had played five times in the last three seasons with three of those meetings coming in the Final Four. UConn beat Stanford for the 2010 national championship, and the Cardinal ended the Huskies’ NCAA record 90-game winning streak last December.
