No. 3 UConn women’s basketball dropped its first game of the season Sunday afternoon after falling to the No. 7 Notre Dame Fighting Irish, 74-60.
Azzi Fudd suffered an apparent right knee injury in the first half after Aaliyah Edwards fell into her after being fouled. She went into the locker room and eventually re-entered the game, though she did not play in the second half.
Without their superstar, the Huskies didn’t have the offensive firepower to mount a comeback after trailing by 17 at halftime and 16 in the fourth quarter. Lou Lopez Sénéchal did all she could with 21 points and Nika Mühl had 11 points.
