UNCASVILLE, Conn. (AP) Anne Donovan acknowledged being a little nervous before Connecticut's season opener.

The veteran coach, who took over the Sun this season after spending the past three years coaching at Seton Hall, didn't have much to worry about after her team put on a defensive clinic in the second half to beat the Liberty 81-69 on Saturday night.

The win spoiled the debut of Bill Laimbeer as New York's coach.
