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.

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

Paige Bueckers and Sarah Strong combined for 43 points in the UConn women’s basketball team’s 100-57 rout of Villanova at Gampel Pavilion.
