The point guard will replace Mühl in the Huskies’ starting lineup. Not only is Chen also a great defender, like Mühl, but the California native can also score at will and isn’t afraid to create her shot. Chen averaged 15.8 points per game last season along with a career-high 4.9 assists, 1.3 steals and a 48.8 field goal percentage….
Strong, 6-foot-2, averaged 21.0 points, 16.8 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 2.8 steals and 1.8 blocks per game during her senior year in high school. She was a constant threat under the hoop, bodying opponents out of rebounds, yet also shocked defenders with her ability to shoot from deep and make 3-point shots with ease – a skill UConn’s bigs have lacked in recent years. Strong shot 40 percent or better from the arc in 12 of 29 games last year.
