DAVIS, Calif. (AP) - Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis scored 30 points, making a career-high 10 3-pointers, and No. 1 Connecticut cruised to its 47th straight win with a 102-43 rout of UC Davis in the season opener for both teams Friday night.
Breanna Stewart added 15 points, a career-best seven assists and six rebounds for the hot-shooting Huskies, and the two-time defending NCAA champions went on a 39-0 run spanning 15 minutes, 43 seconds from midway through the first half to Rachel Nagel's 3 at the 13:16 mark of the second for UC Davis. It is believed to be among the biggest runs in UConn program history.
Mosqueda-Lewis matched Maya Moore's record for most 3-pointers, which Moore did on Jan. 17, 2009, against Syracuse in Hartford. The Huskies' 18 total 3s tied the school record set in that same game.
Mosqueda-Lewis sat out the final 11:31 on Friday.
No. 3 NOTRE DAME 105, UMASS LOWELL 51
SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) - Freshman Brianna Turner made an impressive college debut, scoring 29 points to lead Notre Dame to a win over UMass Lowell.

Turner set a school record in the Muffet McGraw era for freshman debuts, easily topping the previous mark of 18 points.

No. 4 TENNESSEE 97, PENN 52.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Nia Moore had 24 points and 14 rebounds to set career highs in both categories for Tennessee as the short-handed Lady Volunteers opened the season beating Penn.
Tennessee center Isabelle Harrison appeared to hurt her right leg while battling for a loose ball with 3:26 remaining. Harrison, a first-team all-Southeastern Conference selection last season, was down on the floor for several minutes before getting helped to the locker room.
The Lady Vols had only eight available players because coach Holly Warlick handed down one-game suspensions to guards Ariel Massengale and Andraya Carter and two-game suspensions to Jannah Tucker and Cierra Burdick last week. Massengale was suspended for missing one class and Tucker was punished for missing two classes. The penalties for Carter and Burdick were due to missing curfew.
The Lady Vols still had more than enough firepower to beat Penn.
