HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) Katie Lou Samuelson scored 26 points and pulled down 16 rebounds to lead UConn to an easy 99-61 win over former Big East rival Seton Hall on Saturday.

It was just the second career double-double for the 6-foot-3 All-American, who also had six assists.

Napheesa Collier had 18 points and Crystal Dangerfield scored 16 for Connecticut (9-0). Freshmen Christyn Williams (15 points) and Olivia Nelson-Ododa (13) also reached double figures.

Nicole Jimenez had 23 points for Seton Hall (7-2), which had won three straight after its only other loss this season, at UCLA.

The Pirates led 3-2 lead after a three-pointer by Kaity Healy.

But Samuelson hit three buckets, including a pair of three-pointers during a 10-0 UConn run that put the Huskies up for good.

Williams had 15 points in the first quarter and UConn lead 35-13 after 10 minutes and 61-29 at the half. >> Read More
