That is all I need to do is play as hard as I can and help the team in any way. I am trying to remain patient in getting back into the flow of things. I have to remind myself that even though I know how to play, I have been out for a whole year so there are going to be a few moments when things just might not click.” UConn coach Geno Auriemma recently had a conversation with UConn’s reserves about not getting frustrated if things aren’t happening as quickly as they would like since it takes time to get adjusted to the college game. Stevens had an interesting reply to Auriemma during that meeting. “Most kids will say, ‘it is going to take you a year or so to get caught up,’” Auriemma said. “We do a lot of intricate stuff here at Connecticut, a lot of stuff that you have to pick up and she said, ‘that is OK for our freshmen but I don’t have that much time, I only have two years to play.’ She will catch up quickly and you will see that every game that we play, she will get better and better.” [URL="http://www.nhregister.com/sports/article/Azur-Stevens-could-step-into-starting-lineup-12368391.php"]Azurá Stevens could step into starting lineup for UConn women[/URL] [/QUOTE]
