Hartley honored by Big East

UConn guard Bria Hartley, fresh off a career-high 29 points in Saturday's win over Notre Dame, has been named the Big East's Freshman of the Week for the sixth time.

Hartley averaged 20 points per game and shot 62.5 percent from the field, including 42.9 percent from 3-point range in wins over Oklahoma and Notre Dame.

The six FOW honors ties Hartley for third place all time with seven players including former UConn stars Svetlana Abrosimova and Tina Charles. If she wins the award next week, she would tie ex-Husky Rebecca Lobo for second with seven selections. Maya Moore won the award a record 10 times during the 2007-08 season.

UCONN BACK AT NO. 1
As expected, UConn has returned to the top spot in the Associated Press national poll after extending its winning streak to 14 games and aided by former No. 1 Baylor's loss to Texas Tech. UConn received 37 of the 40 first-place votes.
