Lady Vols take down UConn for the first time since 2007

For the first time since 2007, the Tennessee Lady Vols have defeated the UConn Huskies. Without a doubt one of the games of the year — Tennessee found every answer they needed down the stretch to put this one on ice.

The Lady Vols fell behind by seven points in the second quarter, and it felt like this one was on the brink of getting away. Talaysia Cooper and Ruby Whitehorn quickly came up with the answer Tennessee needed to cut it back to two points. Another UConn run was answered again by Tennessee just before halftime as Jewel Spear and Zee Spearman cut the UConn lead down to 39-37.
