STORRS, Conn. — KK Arnold and Sarah Strong had 11 points each as the top-ranked UConn women’s basketball team rolled past Loyola 85-31 on Wednesday night.
Serah Williams had 10 points, Azzi Fudd had nine points and five of the season-high 25 steals for the Huskies (3-0). Allie Ziebell also scored nine points.
Alexa Kinas and Alex-Anne Bessette had seven points for Loyola (1-2).
Nine UConn players made a field goal in the first half as the Huskies led 41-14 at halftime.
It only got worse for Loyola after halftime. The Ramblers didn’t score for the final 9:46 of the third quarter, after opening the quarter with a 3-pointer by Kinas, and went 11:35 without hitting a field goal.
Loyola is the 184th program that UConn has defeated since Geno Auriemma took over as the coach in 1985.
Freshmen Blanca Quinonez and Gandy Malou-Mamel made their UConn debuts after missing the first two games of the season. Quinonez had five points, three rebounds and two steals in 14 minutes. Malou-Mamel played the final 1:47, but did not score.
UConn announced the signing of Olivia Vukosa on Wednesday. The 6-foot-4 Vukosa is the No. 5-rated player in the Class of 2026 according to Prospects Nation. Vukosa is a star at Christ the King in New York, the same program that produced UConn stars and national player of the year winners Sue Bird and Tina Charles.
