HARTFORD, Conn. -- Katie Lou Samuelson scored 26 points and pulled down 16 rebounds to lead top-ranked Connecticut to a 99-61 victory over former Big East rival Seton Hall on Saturday.
It was just the second career double-double for the 6-3 All-American, who also had six assists.
Napheesa Collier had 18 points and Crystal Dangerfield scored 16 for Connecticut (9-0). Freshman Christyn Williams (Central Arkansas Christian) had 15 points -- all coming in the first quarter -- and Olivia Nelson-Ododa added 13.
Nicole Jimenez had 23 points for Seton Hall (7-2), which had won three consecutive after its only other loss this season, at UCLA.
The Pirates led 3-2 after a three-pointer by Kaity Healy. Samuelson responded with three buckets, including two three-pointers, during a 10-0 UConn run that put the Huskies up for good.
The Huskies now have won 124 consecutive regular-season games, 56 of those coming out of conference, dating back to a loss to Stanford in the second game of the 2014-2015 season. They've also won 82 consecutive home games.
