Associated Press  

STORRS, Conn. — Caroline Ducharme’s return after missing 13 games with a concussion came at just the right time for the UConn Huskies. Ducharme, playing for the first time this calendar year, was 0 for 6 from the floor before her late scoring surge helped UConn overcome an 11-point fourth-quarter deficit. It’s a great Valentine’s Day gift.” Lou Lopez Senechal scored 17 points to lead the Huskies, Aaliyah Edwards had 12 and Dorka Juhasz added 10 points. Ducharme drove into the lane with 4.8 seconds left, drawing a foul on Carly Bachelor and calmly hit the two foul shots to give UConn the winning points.
