The women’s basketball team faced its stiffest test of the season on Dec. 28 at Hinkle Fieldhouse, toppling 94-47 to No. 1 UConn. The loss drops the Bulldogs to 7-7 overall and 1-3 in conference play, while the unbeaten Huskies improved to 13-0.
Despite the final score, the Bulldogs opened the game with purpose, using a three-point play from redshirt sophomore guard Saniya Jackson and a deep three from redshirt sophomore forward Mallory Miller to spark a 6-0 run and take a 10-6 lead midway through the first quarter.
