UConn women’s hoops passed its first big test of the season, taking down the No. 3 Texas Longhorns, 83-76. After the two teams went back and forth for the first quarter and a half, the Huskies took the lead for good and held off a late push by the Longhorns to secure the victory. Texas star Rori Harmon did not play due to a toe injury.
Azzi Fudd went off for a career-high 32 points — 17 of which came in the fourth quarter alone — and hit a crucial 3-pointer with 1:57 remaining to stop an 8-0 Texas run.
