Quiñonez digs UConn out of early hole

In each of its last three games, UConn has jumped out to fast starts: 11-2 vs. Villanova, 8-0 against Notre Dame and 20-2 at Georgetown. But on Saturday at Seton Hall, the Huskies were on the receiving end of one. The Pirates opened on a 6-0 run — marking UConn’s largest deficit of the season.

Azzi Fudd kept the Huskies afloat early by scoring their first nine points, but Blanca Quiñonez changed the game when she checked in at the 6:39 mark of the opening quarter. At the time, UConn trailed 10-9. Just over two minutes later, the Huskies took the lead for good — thanks in large part to the freshman.
