After scoring a career-high 13 points and posting her first collegiate double-double in a win over Temple in the second round of the NCAA tournament, UConn freshman Kelly Faris provided quite the encore.

She was 6 for 8 from the floor including 4 for 4 from 3-point range en route to a career-high 16 points in Sunday's 74-36 win over Iowa State.

Faris, who is 12 of 16 including 7 of 8 from 3-point range in the three NCAA tournament games, has shown an offensive aggressiveness in the tournament that she didn't often reveal during the season.

"I just decided I would start shooting," Faris said. "It took a little while for them to start falling. Coach (Geno Auriemma) gives us the green light if we are open and it is time to have fun with it.

FLORIDA STATE'S NEXT
When Florida State played UConn on Dec. 28, the Seminoles only trailed by six points at halftime before UConn pulled away for a 78-59 victory.

Florida State will get another shot at the Huskies in Tuesday's Dayton Regional final.

"We just didn't stay together as a team in the second half, go out and run (with UConn)," Florida State junior guard Courtney Ward said. "But it was earlier in the year so it shouldn't be a problem on Tuesday. We're not really worrying about what UConn has. We are just planning on practicing what we need to get better at so we can go out and beat them."
