Maria Conlon was cut yesterday.

"It was hard because I felt Maria had a really good camp, but I think Jamie fits the way we play better, with a faster pace," coach Thibault said. "Maria is more of a smaller [shooting] guard. I've come to respect [Conlon] quite a bit. I was very impressed with her. It was a very difficult decision."

Connecticut will go with Jamie Carey and Jen Derevjanik instead. Carey is "somebody who we had considered drafting ourselves," Thibault said. “I don't profess to know and have not figured out what happened in Phoenix."
