For the first time in 10 years, the UConn Huskies women’s basketball team opened up a season on the road. And the road venue did not affect them at all.
Behind a school-record tying 10 three-pointers, Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis had 30 points to lead the Huskies to an 102-43 spanking of the UC Davis Aggies in front of a record crowd of 4,712 at The Pavilion in Davis, CA.
Breanna Stewart added 15 points, six rebounds and a career-high seven assists. Moriah Jefferson added 13 points and seven assists while Saniya Chong had 12 points. Morgan Tuck rounded out the Huskies in double-digits with 10 points and had seven assists as well.
Kiah Nurse, Gabby Williams and Sadie Edwards were the three freshman who scored their first points for UConn. Nurse had eight points and six rebounds with Williams scoring six and Edwards had one point.
UC Davis (1-0), out of the Big West Conference, was led by Kelsey Harris who had 12 points. Sydnee Fipps added nine points and a team-high six rebounds.
UConn (1-0) heads to Palo Alto, CA for a matchup with the Stanford Cardinal on Monday night at 9 p.m. ET.
