The American Today: Huskies Top Owls in Philadelphia

No. 2/2 UConn 83, Temple 49

Breanna Stewart had a game-high 17 points leading five Huskies in double figures in an 83-49 win over Temple Sunday at McGonigle Hall. The victory marked the 899th career-win for UConn head coach Geno Auriemma.  Auriemma can become the sixth head coach in Division I women's basketball history to reach 900 wins with a win Tuesday against Cincinnati.

Former Tennessee coach Pat Summitt's leads with 1,098 wins and four other women's basketball coaches have hit the 900-win mark. Freshman Alliya Butts led the Owls with 12 points, while Erica Covile notched a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds. Covile's double-double was her second in two games against UConn this season.
