UConn coach Geno Auriemma confirmed after practice that the surgery to repair the torn anterior cruciate ligament in the left knee of freshman guard Caroline Doty was successful.

Doty, who tore her ACL late in the first half of Saturday's win over Syracuse, underwent the surgery Thursday at the UConn Health Center in Farmington. Dr. Robert Arciero performed the procedure.

"I haven't had a chance to speak to her but she came out of it and I will talk to her when I get back to my office after practice," Auriemma said. "From all indications from our doctors and our trainers she came out of it in great shape."

There were no complications or additional ligaments torn when Arciero went in and repaired the torn ACL.

"She were concerned that there might be more than that but once Bob (Arciero) got in there, it was pretty cut and dry," Auriemma said.

Auriemma doesn't want to set a time table for Doty's return to the court.

"That's the danger, if she sets a date and then pushes herself to make that date, it could be counterproductive," Auriemma said. "The way I look at it is when you are ready, you are ready. I don't see her being able to truly feel comfortable until at least November or December."

Doty started the first 17 games of the season, averaging 8.6 points and 3.4 rebounds and hitting 30 3-pointers.
