UConn women’s basketball advanced to the Final Four after claiming a victory for the ages. It was the first Women’s NCAA Tournament game to go to double overtime in the Elite Eight or later.
The Huskies led most of the game but then lost the lead in the fourth quarter. They needed a comeback and a last-second stop to force overtime. Two overtimes later, UConn defeated the top-seeded NC State Wolfpack, 91-87, to make its 14th straight Final Four.
Even with two extra sessions, the game went down to the wire. Christyn Williams finished a well-executed final sequence with a layup with five seconds left to finish with 21 points on the night and put UConn up four.
