UConn incoming freshmen Stefanie Dolson and Bria Hartley as well as UConn recruiting targets Diamond DeShields, Ally Malott and Malina Howard were among the 12 players on the final U.S. Under-18 team roster.

USA Basketball originally named 16 finalists before getting down to the 12-player maximum for the 2010 FIBA Americas U18 Championship for Women which will be held from June 23-27 at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo.

Sidney Cook, Raven Ferguson, Afure Jemerigbe and Haley Peters did not make the cut for the team which will be coached by former UConn star and current Hartford head coach Jen Rizzotti. The 12-member squad will remain in Colorado Springs for training until the start of the tournament.

LAWSON IN ACTION
Kara Lawson, who was a game-time decision after injuring her left shoulder in the Connecticut Sun's win over Indiana, started and was the first Sun player to reach double figures in scoring in the back end of the home-and-home with the Fever on Sunday.

The Sun, despite a dreadful second quarter, are heading into the fourth quarter only down by nine points.
