In front of a sold-out XL Center, the No. 1 UConn women’s basketball team used a fourth-quarter comeback to take down the No. 3 Notre Dame Fighting Irish 80-71.
The comeback was orchestrated by Azura Stevens and even more impressively, UConn did so without Katie Lou Samuelson—who left with an injury—and Gabby Williams—who was benched for the entire second half.
Things looked dire for the Huskies with 9:34 left in the fourth quarter after Notre Dame hit a 3-pointer to take an 11 point lead. To make matters worse, Samuelson exited on the ensuing possession.
But then Azura Stevens took over.
