Despite poor shooting from Paige Bueckers, the UConn women's basketball team defeated DePaul thanks to Azzi Fudd, Kaitlyn Chen, and Sarah Strong.

The game remained competitive early, with DePaul closing the gap to 23-20 in the second quarter. However, UConn responded with a 17-4 run to seize control by halftime. The Huskies’ outside shooting played a key role, as they shot 54.5% (12-for-22) from beyond the arc, with Chen going 3-for-3 and Fudd 4-for-7.

The redshirt senior was able to rest starting in the third quarter as UConn as coach Geno Auriemma turned to his bench. Jorie Allen and Taylor Johnson-Matthews each scored 19 for DePaul (11-12, 6-4).
