No. 1 Connecticut 92, Louisville 71

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Maya Moore led five Connecticut players in double figures with 23 points and seven rebounds as the top-ranked Huskies remained unbeaten. Tina Charles had 19 points and 14 rebounds for UConn, Renee Montgomery and Ketia Swanier added 12 points apiece and Brittany Hunter had 10 points and nine rebounds for the Huskies (15-0, 3-0 Big East), who matched their best start since 2002-03. For once, however, it wasn’t easy. Though the Huskies never trailed, they didn’t dominate. UConn entered the game winning by an average of nearly 43 points. But some inspired play by the Cardinals (11-5, 0-3) kept things interesting well into the second half. Angel McCoughtry led Louisville with 30 points and 11 rebounds before fouling out with 2:47 remaining. Keshia Hines added 13 points and six rebounds, and Chauntise Wright had 12 points and eight rebounds for Louisville, but the Cardinals couldn’t overcome 7-of-20 free-throw shooting and struggled slowing down the bigger, deeper Huskies.

No. 5 Rutgers 69, Seton Hall 47

PISCATAWAY, N.J. — Matee Ajavon had 21 points, five assists and five rebounds in leading Rutgers to its eighth straight win. Epiphanny Prince had 19 points and 10 rebounds and Kia Vaughn added 10 points and 12 rebounds for the Scarlet Knights (13-2, 3-0 Big East), who beat Seton Hall for the seventh straight time in snapping the Pirates’ seven-game winning streak. Heather Zurich added 12 points on 6-for-7 shooting. Jadis Rhodin scored 17 points and Amber Harris had 10 for Seton Hall (11-3, 2-1), which shot 22.6 percent in the first half.

STANFORD, Calif. — Candice Wiggins scored 20 points to help Stanford win its sixth straight game over Oregon. Jillian Harmon had 15 points and nine rebounds for the Cardinal (14-3, 4-2 Pac-10), who won their 12th straight at home. Jeanette Pohlen added 15 points. Ellie Manou scored 10 to lead Oregon (8-8, 2-3), which fell to 1-5 on the road and 0-5 against ranked opponents. Taylor Lilley, the Ducks’ leading scorer, was held without a field goal attempt and finished with two points, breaking a six-game string of double-figure scoring.

No. 8 Baylor 59, No. 13 Texas A&M 56

WACO, Texas — Danielle Wilson had 16 points and 11 rebounds, and Angela Tisdale hit a 3-pointer with 38 seconds left to lift Baylor.

Takia Starks scored 16 and was the only player with more than eight points for Texas A&M (12-4, 0-2).

No. 9 California 61, Oregon State 45

BERKELEY, Calif. — Devanei Hampton had 14 points and 12 rebounds, and California held Oregon State to 26 percent shooting for its first seven-game winning streak in 16 years. Ashley Walker added 17 points to lead the Bears (15-2, 6-0 Pac-10), and Alexis Gray-Lawson had 14. Hampton, the reigning Pac-10 player of the year, dominated underneath and nearly had a double-double at halftime. The defeat completed a lost weekend in the San Francisco Bay area for Oregon State (8-8, 1-4) and leading scorer Ashley Allen. She began the week leading the Pac 10 with 21.1 points, but was held to 13 points in Thursday’s loss at No. 7 Stanford and seven points against the Bears on 3-for-16 shooting.
