No. 1 UConn Smothers No. 16 USC 79-51, Snaps Trojans’ 20-Game Home Streak

Relentless pressure turned USC over 20 times, underscoring the defending champions’ 10-0 start.

Overview

  • UConn seized control with a 15-0 closing run to end the first quarter and never trailed again in Los Angeles.
  • Azzi Fudd led with 17 points and key defensive assignments, as Ashlynn Shade added 15 and Sarah Strong posted 14 with seven boards.
  • USC freshman Jazzy Davidson was limited to 10 points on 3-for-13 shooting as the Huskies held the Trojans near 30% from the field.
  • The win ended USC’s 20-game home winning streak and reinforced UConn’s undefeated start at 10-0.
  • USC remained without star JuJu Watkins as she rehabs a torn ACL, and ex-Trojan Kayleigh Heckel returned to Galen Center in a UConn uniform.
