The inside duo of Charde Houston and Tina Charles were too much to handle on Saturday night as the UCONN Huskies defeated the North Carolina State Wolfpack by the score of 78-71. Houston led the Huskies with 18 points and added 5 rebounds and 5 assists. Charles had 17 points and Kalana Greene had a double-double with 17 points and 12 rebounds. Marquetta Dickens led the ladies in red with 14 points. Khadijah Whittington had 13 points and 9 rebounds while Shayla Fields had 13 points and former UCONN recruit Gillian Goring added 10 points.
UCONN will now have a rematch against the LSU Tigers on Monday night at 9 PM on ESPN (This is gonna be a problem if 24 is new this week). If you remember, UCONN ended LSU’s 43 game home winning streak back on February 11th.
Just a quick note: The Southern Connecticut State University’s women’s basketball team defeated Florida Gulf Coast to win the Women’s Division II National Championship 61-45. Former UCONN sharpshooter Maria Conlon is an assistant coach for the Owls
