Napheesa Collier scored 25 points and pulled down 14 rebounds, and the Huskies beat UCF 66-45 Monday night to win their sixth straight league tournament championship. Olivia Nelson-Ododa, who started her fourth straight game since Samuelson suffered a back injury nine days ago, had seven points and 11 rebounds. In three tournament games, the 6-foot-4 freshman scored 34 points, had 32 rebounds and was a defensive force in the lane with seven blocked shots. Lawriell Wilson scored 12 points off the bench for UCF (26-6), which has won more games than any other team in program history. “We wanted to just come in here and play UCF basketball and have fun,” said coach Katie Abrahamson-Henderson.
