NEW ORLEANS (AP) a Stefanie Dolson grabbed the microphone on stage following the NCAA final and uttered four words: "President Obama, we are ba-aaack!" With heralded newcomer Breanna Stewart, sophomore Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis and most of the staff straight back, this could be the following great Connecticut period. That is a terrifying thought for the remainder of women's college basketball, after the Huskies caught their eighth national name. "It was essential for us to put a mark on this system that instructor has built," Dolson said. "It has a good opportunity to hold going." In the last three seasons, UConn has lost 11 games a including twice in the Ultimate Four. Eight of the beats found Notre Dame and Baylor. With Skylar Diggins and Brittney Griner graduating and heading to the WNBA, it's simple to start speaking dynasty and several more trips to the White House. "We feel like all we can go is up from here," said Mosqueda-Lewis, who scored 18 points in the 93-60 rout of Louisville in the title game on Tuesday evening. "We have so many young people and so many people with knowledge in a national title game. That is just likely to make us better." Stewart would be the key to that particular achievement. Auriemma said when he signed her that the Huskies might not lose many games with her. She's currently 1 for 1 on the biggest point. UConn and Auriemma won an eighth national tournament, tying Pat Summitt for probably the most titles in women's hockey. It may not take long for Auriemma to stand alone atop the list. While Auriemma said he did not want to look forward, he added: "Stewie certainly is significantly diffent than every other school person that's playing right now." Stewart had an unprecedented explain to you the NCAA tournament. Sharpshooting from heavy or beating the boards, she had one of the most memorable debut runs in the record of the NCAA tournament. Stewart concluded with 104 factors in only five games a she missed the first-round rout of Idaho to sleep an aching leg a' probably the most by any first-year person since 2000, based on STATS. UConn's Maya Moore held the last tag with 93 points. She achieved something which Rebecca Lobo, Sue Bird, Diana Taurasi and Moore couldn't do inside their first year a' gain a title. It's perhaps not farfetched to consider Stewart leading Connecticut to an unprecedented four straight championships. Straight NCAA titles were won three by tennessee from 1996-98 before falling short in the ultimate in 1999. However, a lot sometimes happens in the next 3 years. "It is so difficult to check ahead," Auriemma said. "So many things need certainly to go right in the foreseeable future. The three newcomer that individuals have, i'd like them to keep better and getting better and better every single day. Where that requires us, I actually do not know." UConn cruised through the match winning by typically 35 items, coming out Maryland, Kentucky and Louisville. Yet the group struggled and didn't get an everyday year or Big East tournament name for the very first time in 19 seasons. Which should not happen any time soon with the Big East splitting up next season. UConn is likely to be area of the new American Athletic Conference. With Notre Dame visited the ACC and Louisville (ACC) and Rutgers (Big Ten) making after next year, the Huskies needs to have not a problem turning up more conference titles. However not winning the conference title this season left UConn in a different position going in to the NCAAs. It did have the participants refocused for the NCAA tournament and yet another championship run. "After the Big East tournament damage, we lay in the locker area, and (Auriemma) viewed us. And he said, 'Once we reconcile, I am planning to show you just how to get a championship,'" senior Kelly Faris said. And he did, maintaining whole one of the more remarkable streaks in activities. Auriemma and his staff haven't lost an title game, going 8 for 8. "I have said this before: I do believe that coaches eliminate more title activities than they win," Auriemma said. "You don't have your team ready for whatever reason, psychologically usually. I have experienced the Final Four a few times where we have lost, and emotionally we weren't right. "But we've never held it's place in a championship game where emotionally we were not right. That is some thing I am really happy of." ___ Follow Doug on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/dougfeinberg
