UConn signee Stefanie Dolson was named the most valuable player of the James I. O'Neill Tournament after scoring 23 points in the championship game, a 55-31 win over the host school on Wednesday.

Dolson, a 6-foot-5 senior center for Minisink Valley of Slate Hill, N.Y., had 26 points in Monday's first-round game as Minisink Valley defeated Red Hook 53-30.

HUSKIES LEADING ANOTHER POLL
Not only are the undefeated Huskies the unanimous No. 1 team in both major national polls but are currently the top choice for the story of the year on a poll on the Register's web site.

UConn has received 39 percent of the vote (rather fitting since the Huskies finished 39-0 on won every game by at least 10 points) among the seven UConn or New Haven area based stories. The murder of UConn football player Jasper Howard is second with 30 percent while the Yale hockey team winning the ECAC title and earning an NCAA bid, the Yale football team's unsuccessful fake punt on a 4th and 22 leading to the game-winning score for Harvard and the return of football at the University of New Haven are tied with 5 percent of the vote.
