UConn women’s basketball went into South Bend and came away with a dominant victory over the No. 1 Notre Dame Fighting Irish, 89-71.
Freshman Christyn Williams came out on fire, hitting her first 7 shots and scoring 14 of the Huskies’ first 18 points. She finished with a game-high 28 points while playing every minute.
UConn pulled out to a 7-point lead at the start of the second quarter, but Notre Dame slowly chipped away and got it down to just two points. But a pair of big shots from Napheesa Collier and Crystal Dangerfield kept the Fighting Irish at arms length.
