#1 Connecticut 77 #2 Seton Hall 51 Tournament Recap UConn placed four players in double-figures, including Most Outstanding Performer Rebecca Lobo who had 17 points and nine rebounds as Connecticut beat Seton Hall, 77-51 on Mar. 7, 1994 for its third BIG EAST Championship.

Lobo totaled 51 points, 28 rebounds and a tournament record 17 blocks (a mark that still stands entering the 2007 Championship). Seton Hall made its first appearance in the Championship Game since 1984, and was led by alltournament team selections Jodi Brooks and Dana Wynne.

Earlier in the Tournament, Boston College broke the BIG EAST Championship single-game rebounding record with 61 boards against Providence, a contest that went into overtime. With the Championship and automatic berth into the NCAAs, UConn earned its six straight invitation, and was a No. 1 seed.

All-Tournament Team: Jamelle Elliott (Connecticut) Kara Wolters (Connecticut) Jodi Brooks (Seton Hall) Dana Wynne (Seton Hall) Jonna Huemrich (Pittsburgh) Most Outstanding Player: Rebecca Lobo (Connecticut)
