Realizing that facing a Georgetown team full of aggressive, slashing wing players was a bit of a defensive nightmare for his freshman center Stefanie Dolson, the UConn coaching staff decided the only way the Huskies were to escape with the win would be to go small.

Finally with 11:13 to go and the Huskies down by four, UConn coach Geno Auriemma pulled the trigger. He summoned Dolson to the bench in favor of Bria Hartley. With Hartley being joined by Maya Moore, Tiffany Hayes, Lorin Dixon and Kelly Faris, the Huskies were able to match up better with the Hoyas.

Dixon, the only reserve to get into the game for UConn, responded with the best stretch of her UConn career.

Just 16 seconds after a Connecticut timeout, Dixon stole the ball from Rubylee Wright and hit a layup. Here is what followed

7:14: A Dixon steal results in a Hartley layup
6:41: Another Dixon steal
6:19: After senior All-American Maya Moore passed on a 5-footer, Dixon calmly took and made a jumper to give UConn a 55-53 lead with 6:19 to play.
5:32: Dixon snares an offensive rebound of a Moore miss
5:09: Dixon had another steal. Moore gets fouled on a ensuing possession and makes two free throws to put UConn up 59-53
3:09: After missing a jumper, Dixon keeps the ball alive allowing Maya Moore to grab an offensive rebound and get fouled.
2:15: Dixon sets up Moore for a basket
1:31: Dixon once again assists on a Moore hoop.

"I feel like I was in the right place at the right time during a lot of possessions," Dixon said. "I was trying to get my hands on a couple of (passes)."

When people look at the box score at the game, Moore's 23 points and 14 rebounds and the 17 points by Hartley will jump out but Dixon's four points, two rebounds, four assists and four steals were invaluable to keep the Huskies hopes of a third straight national title alive.
