Dolson has 21 as No. 2 UConn rolls over Providence

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) – Freshman Stefanie Dolson matched her career-high with 21 points and Maya Moore scored 11 with a career-high nine assists to lead No. 2 Connecticut to a 68-38
victory over Providence on Saturday.

The Huskies (24-1, 12-0 Big East) won their 12th consecutive game since a Dec. 30 loss to Stanford that ended their NCAA-record 90-game winning streak. Providence (11-12, 4-7) has lost to UConn 26 straight times since 1993.

Dolson was named the Big East rookie of the week after reaching a career-high with 21 points against DePaul last Saturday. She matched it just a week later.

Moore played just 23 minutes, sitting most of the second half as coach Geno Auriemma rested his starters for upcoming games against No. 14 Oklahoma on Monday and No. 8 Notre Dame next Saturday.

Teya Wright scored nine points with 10 rebounds for Providence.
