Connecticut says guard Caroline Doty has had successful surgery to repair the torn anterior cruciate ligament in her left knee.
The school says Doty, who had the surgery Tuesday at the University of Connecticut Health Center, should be able to return for the start of the 2011-12 season.
The junior tore her ACL in late July while practicing.
She missed the second half of her freshman season after a similar injury to the same knee. She also missed her senior season in high school after tearing that ACL while playing soccer.

Doty started 38 of 39 games last season and averaged under 7 points for the undefeated Huskies. UConn won a second consecutive national championship, extending its winning streak to 78 games.
