No. 3 UConn women beat Marquette 85-51

Mosqueda-Lewis scored nine points and Dotson six during a 21-3 run to open the game for the Huskies (14-1, 2-1 Big East) points.

"I thought the ball movement was great that first 20 minutes," UConn head coach Geno Auriemma said. "We got the exact shot we wanted to get most every time down the floor. It's been awhile since we've come out with that kind of focus when we start our games. It was great to see."

The Huskies had 14 of its 25 assists in the first half.

Dolson scored on a layup after UConn won the tip. Mosqueda-Lewis followed with a 3-pointer and Dolson connected on a jumper as UConn was off to exactly the start Auriemma wanted.

"We made it a point at the beginning of the game to get Stephanie the ball as much as possible," Auriemma said after his team improved to (8-0) all-time against Marquette. "And we did. I think that created a whole other set of problems for Marquette."

The Golden Eagles have never had it easy against the Huskies. Coming into the game, UConn has averaged 29.7 points in all of the game, save one.

"UConn is the best," Marquette head coach Terri Mitchell said. "They jumped all over us. We were back on our heels."

Mosqueda-Lewis was one point shy of matching her season-high and three away from her career-best set against Marquette Feb. 25, 2012. She didn't mind being that close one bit.

"I knew I was close to my career high, but I was happy that the other guys got to go in and play," she said after shooting 6 of 8, including 3 of 5 from 3-point range. "They don't really get that many minutes. So to see them go out there and be able to learn was nice."
