UConn's Samuelson goes 10-for-10 from 3-point line, explodes for 40 points

Katie Lou Samuelson couldn’t miss in No. 1 UConn’s 100-44 AAC title game victory over South Florida on Monday night. She hit one three. And then another. And another. And by the end of the night she had rained in a perfect 10-of-10 from 3-point range – an NCAA Division I women’s record.

According to ESPN Stats and Information, the sophomore’s perfect ten ties Andre Smith’s Division I men’s record. It surpasses the NBA record of 9-of-9 made 3-pointers by both Latrell Sprewell and Ben Gordon. The WNBA record for most 3-pointers without missing is six.

In the first half alone, Samuelson had drained a perfect 7-of-7 3’s and had 29 points.

And although she didn’t play in the fourth quarter, Samuelson finished 12-of-14 overall and was a perfect 6-for-6 from the free throw line. She became just the third player in UConn history to score 40 points in a game.

Samuelson is averaging 21 points per game and shooting 43.7 percent from beyond the arc for UConn this season.

On Monday, UConn will find out who it will face in the NCAA tournament. With Monday’s win, UConn’s winning streak is at 107 games.
