Some more local love -- this time from Queens, NY. The Courier writes about 5'4" (yeah, right!) Christ the King grad Lorin Dixon. The UConn freshman was thrust into the starting line-up when Mel Thomas went down.

When Auriemma told her of the lineup change last Thursday, January 24, Dixon admittedly stopped breathing for a few moments.

“It was very hard to believe,” she said. “I was like, ‘Is he talking to me or is there another Lorin in the room?’ It’s a lot to take in. It was overwhelming.”
