Charles Breaks Records As UConn Dominates Notre Dame

Tina Charles came to the No. 1/1 UConn Huskies wanting to be the best center that’s ever played there. And now after breaking Rebecca Lobo’s career-rebounding and Nykesha Sales’ career-scoring record, she may just be the best center to play at UConn.

Charles led five Huskies players in double figures with 18 points as they rolled to an easy 76-51 win over the No. 8/6 Notre Dame Fighting Irish in front of 9,149 at the Joyce Center in South Bend, IN and a nationally-televised audience on ESPN2.
