Moore leads UConn in rout of DePaul

STORRS, Conn. — Maya Moore had 34 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists to lead No. 2 Connecticut to an 89-66 victory over ninth-ranked DePaul on Saturday.

Moore was 14 of 16 from the field as UConn shot a blistering 68 percent. The Huskies won for the 100th time in their last 101 games, the lone loss coming to Stanford on Dec. 30. UConn has won 10 straight since that defeat.

Junior guard Tiffany Hayes has been a part of all 100 victories, making her the fastest player in NCAA history to reach the century mark.

Stefanie Dolson added a career-high 21 points for the Huskies (22-1, 10-0 Big East), who have won 74 straight at home and 60 consecutive games in the conference.

Felicia Chester scored 19 points while Keisha Hampton and Anna Martin added 14 each to lead DePaul (21-3, 8-1), which had won eight straight and reached its best ranking ever this week.

UConn led 45-33 at the half, shooting a sizzling 70 percent from the field.

“We’ve gotten better defensively, but 70 percent in the first half and 68 in the game means we didn’t defend them very well,” DePaul coach Doug Bruno said.
