SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Coach Geno Auriemma believes there is a lot to like about Connecticut’s latest star in the making, Christyn Williams.
Williams, a freshman guard, scored 16 of her season-high 28 points in the first quarter on Sunday to help the No. 2 Huskies dominate No. 1 Notre Dame, 89-71.
“Christyn adds a big dimension to our team,” Auriemma said. “She’s fearless.”
Williams hit 7 of 8 shots from the field in the first quarter and made 11 of 16 in the game, leading five Huskies in double figures.
