UConn senior breaks record
Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis didn’t take long to break Diana Taurasi’s Connecticut career record for 3-pointers. Mosqueda-Lewis hit the record-breaking shot from the top of the 3-point circle just 3:18 into the game Sunday. That started a 21-0 run, and the No. 2 Huskies won at SMU, 86-29, in Dallas. The lead grew to as many as 65 points at 74-9 when Connecticut scored the first 27 points of the second half. “It was like there was a lid on the basket,” Mustangs coach Rhonda Rompola said. Mosqueda-Lewis scored eight points in 21 minutes and added one more 3-pointer for a total of 320 in 118 games. Taurasi made 318 in 144 games.
