Dolson, Hartley star in opener

UConn incoming freshmen Stefanie Dolson and Bria Hartley were among four U.S. players to score in double figures as the hosts routed Argentina 81-32 on the first day of the FIBA America U-18 Championshup for Women in Colorado Springs, Colo. on Wednesday.

Dolson had 12 points (on 5 of 6 shooting), four rebounds, one assists, one steal and one block in 17 minutes while Hartley had 10 points to go with team-best totals of six assists and three steals. Stanford signee Chiney Ogwumike led the U.S. with 15 points and 12 rebounds while Kayla McBride had 10 points. UConn recruiting targets Malina Howard (8 points, 10 rebounds), Ally Malott (six points) and Diamond DeShields (five points) also contributed to an impressive effort by the U.S. which led 73-20 after three quarters.

The U.S., coached by former UConn star and current Hartford women's basketball coach Jen Rizzotti, plays Brazil at 7:45 p.m. on Thursday before wrapping up pool play on 7:45 p.m. Friday against Puerto Rico. Brazil defeated Puerto Rico 81-35 on Wednesday.
