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.

Freshman Sarah Strong paced the Huskies with a double-double (26 points and 12 rebounds), while redshirt senior Paige Bueckers notched her 11 th 20-point game of the season to lead sixth-ranked UConn (19-2, 10-0 BIG EAST).
