ATLANTA - This was supposed to be a difficult season at Connecticut. <br>
<br>
The Lady Huskies were expected to retool their lineup after losing four starters from last year's national championship team. The belief was, if ever there was a year the Huskies could be had, this was it. <br>
<br>
But it wasn'. <br>
<br>
UConn's freshmen came through for their team in a big way. <br>
<br>
Ann Strother, Barbara Turner and Willnett Crockett helped the Huskies (37-1) win their third national title in four years and fourth overall. <br>
<br>
And even more important, every U-Conn player is back next season. All of them -- Strother, Turner, Crockett, Diana Taurasi, Jessica Moore, the whole bunch.
