Schedule preview: UCONN headlines women’s basketball non-conference schedule

By Conner Farrell–

The Cardinal’s coverage of the basketball schedule breakdown continues.

This week we’ll turn our focus to the women’s basketball upcoming season.

Jeff Walz’ squad in 2017-18 started out a school best 20-0 and made it to the Final Four ultimately losing to Mississippi State in heartbreaking fashion 73-63. The team finished with a 36-3 record.

The women’s team highlights from last season include 12 wins versus ranked opponents including three within the top five: no. 5 Ohio State and no. 2 Notre Dame twice.

The theme for this year’s team should be unfinished business as they return reigning ACC player of the year and first team All-American senior guard Asia Durr and senior forward Sam Fuehring.
