UConn improved to 12-0 on the season after beating SMU 80-42 on Sunday afternoon.
Senior Kyla Irwin has started the past seven games for the Huskies, and scored a career-high 14 points and added in seven assists in the win. Afterwards, head coach Geno Auriemma was proud of the way Irwin has played.
"Kyla spent the first few years at Connecticut trying to be somebody else and prove that she belonged there, and that just kept backfiring on her," Auriemma said. "Now she's finally realized `I'm just going to do what I do well and stick with that.' "
