UNCASVILLE, Conn. (January 31, 2012) — Waterford has been selected as the Connecticut Sun High School Girls’ Basketball Team of the Week, presented by Camaro Signs of Yantic, for the week of January 22-28.

The Lancers (13-3) rolled to their 10th straight victory Friday night, beating Montville 49-31 in a key Eastern Connecticut Conference Medium Division showdown. Waterford also won at Norwich Free Academy last Wednesday, 57-52, and the team earned votes in the latest New Haven Register Girls’ Basketball Top 10 poll.

This is the sixth season the Connecticut Sun has recognized a Team of the Week. Each winner will receive a commemorative plaque and a congratulatory letter from Connecticut Sun coach Mike Thibault.

The Team of the Week is part of a series of initiatives undertaken by the Connecticut Sun to highlight local high school girls’ basketball, where future WNBA stars are already competing. The Sun have also hosted the CIAC Championship luncheon and the four state title games at Mohegan Sun Arena.
