"UConn's typically high-powered offense stalled Sunday as Fudd and Strong were quiet by their standards. The Irish, who had lost to UConn by 38 points in January, played deservingly of being on this stage, with star Hannah Hidalgo leading the charge."
"The 10 combined points by Strong and Fudd in the first half were the fewest by the duo in a first half all season. The Huskies, however, were buoyed by 12 first-quarter points from freshman Blanca Quiñonez."
"Notre Dame hung around throughout the third before UConn gained some momentum to end the frame on a layup by Jana El Alfy and a 3-pointer from Strong to secure a double-digit lead."
UConn extended their 54-game win streak with a 70-52 victory against Notre Dame in the Elite Eight. The Huskies faced a tough challenge, with stars Azzi Fudd and Sarah Strong underperforming. Notre Dame, having won 10 of their last 11 games, put up a strong fight, led by Hannah Hidalgo. UConn's offense struggled, but they managed to maintain a lead, buoyed by contributions from freshman Blanca Quiñonez. The victory marks UConn's 25th Final Four appearance, continuing their dominance in women's college basketball.
