UConn junior guard Lorin Dixon strained her left hamstring while being fouled on a fast break just 4:18 into the exhibition game against Vanguard University. She has been ruled out for the game and her status for Saturday's season opener against Northeastern will be reevaulated later this week.

UConn leads 53-35 at the break behind 17 points from Maya Moore, 12 from Tiffany Hayes, nine from Tina Charles and eight from Caroline Doty.

Perhaps the biggest stunner is that the undersized Vanguard team is only being outrebounded 23-21 in the first half.
