Connecticut freshman Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis had a stellar NCAA tournament debut.

Mosqueda-Lewis scored 21 points to help top-seeded UConn beat Prairie View A&M, 83-47, on Saturday in the opening round of the NCAA women’s tournament in Bridgeport, Conn. She matched the school record set by Jamelle Elliott in 1993 for points by a Huskies player in her first tournament game.

“I know Coach Jamelle. She’s awesome,” Mosqueda-Lewis said. “She recruited me while I was in high school and to share this with her and to know her personally is really awesome.”

UConn coach Geno Auriemma was expecting his phone to light up with messages from Elliott, a longtime assistant with the Huskies before leaving to coach Cincinnati. He was impressed by Mosqueda-Lewis’ play.

“She’s pretty efficient with her shots,” Auriemma said. “She doesn’t need a lot of shots and that’s one thing that maybe helps her score a lot of points quickly. She takes advantage of the opportunities she gets.”....
