  • Freshman Sarah Strong led the team with a career-best 29 points, while senior Paige Bueckers added 27 points, both hitting five three-pointers each.
  • The Huskies achieved a rare feat with three players scoring at least 25 points and making five three-pointers in the same game, a first in Division I women's basketball in 25 seasons.
  • Despite injuries sidelining key players Azzi Fudd, Aubrey Griffin, and others, UConn improved to 10-1 and now prepares to face No. 7 USC on Saturday.
