No. 2 UConn opened its highly anticipated season with a resounding 86-32 victory over Boston University on Thursday night, thanks in large part to the phenomenal debuts of freshmen sensations Jana El Alfy and Sarah Strong.
El Alfy led the charge with a dominant 17-point and 11-rebound performance, showcasing her impressive skills and athleticism on the court. The talented freshman forward demonstrated her ability to score from anywhere, be it in the paint or from beyond the arc, and her rebounding prowess allowed UConn to control the boards and dictate the pace of the game.
But El Alfy wasn't the only freshman star to shine brightly on this night, as Sarah Strong made an equally impressive debut with 17 points and six steals. Strong's defensive skills were on full display, as she harassed Boston University's ball handlers and forced numerous turnovers that ultimately led to easy scoring opportunities for UConn.
Together, El Alfy and Strong formed a dynamic duo that proved virtually unstoppable for Boston University. Their chemistry on the court was evident, and their ability to complement each other's strengths and weaknesses made them a nightmare to match up against.
The victory marked a promising start to the season for UConn, which will undoubtedly look to build upon this momentum as they navigate the challenges of their schedule. With El Alfy and Strong leading the charge, the Huskies appear poised to make a deep run in the NCAA tournament and could potentially bring home their 12th national championship.
While it's certainly too early to predict how the rest of the season will unfold, one thing is clear: Jana El Alfy and Sarah Strong are here to stay, and they'll be forces to be reckoned with in the world of women's college basketball for years to come.
