Despite an ugly start, UConn women’s basketball cruised to a 87-50 win over the Providence Friars. The Huskies improve to 7-0 on the season and 6-0 in Big East play.
With the victory, Geno Auriemma moves into a tie with Pat Summitt for the second-most wins in Division I women’s basketball history with 1,098. He now only trails Stanford head coach Tara VanDerveer, who’s up to 1,104 wins and counting.
Sophomore Aubrey Griffin had her best game of the year, setting season-highs with 18 points and nine rebounds. She was also UConn's best defender throughout the day, often applying full-court pressure to the Friars’ ball-handlers.
