I was at the game, 111-47 win for UConn. Fort Hays was a smallish, 3 point shooting team with no real athleticism. NOTE: they are ranked #4 nationally in D2 poll. Very good at the D-II level but overmatched against UConn. UConn had 33 assists for the game, 9 by Becker's.
Christyn -20
Aaliyah -17
Dorka- 15
Azzi- 11
Caroline -10
Evie- 10
I thought Dorka and Azzi off the bench in the first half gave UConn a HUGE spark. Dorka looked like the best player on the Court in the first half, she dominated on the glass and made an assortment of excellent post moves and drained an open 3. She is skilled, versatile and experienced. Fudd drained her first three 3s and displayed the shooting stroke we have heard about, which is as advertised. She did not do much else however. She looked tentative to drive the ball.
Ducharme got off to a rough start. She had her first couple of shots blocked and also made a high school pass that went for a fast break the other way. But in the second half she kept playing hard and looked strong scoring in traffic with contact. She also looks like she uses both hands like Larry Bird.
The team looked good to great. Mir MaLean was the 10th girl in and Amari DeBerry 11th. Poffenbarger would have been in before these 2 but she is hurt and did not look like she was dressed to play but I saw her on the bench.
The starting 5 was:
Nelson-Ododa
Edwards
Williams
Westbrook
Bueckers
The bench was in the order they came in, Fudd and Juhasz came in at first whistle:
Fudd
Juhasz
Muhl
Ducharme
McLean
DeBerry
