After its remarkably trying season, UConn women’s basketball is heading to the national championship game. The Huskies took down the Stanford Cardinal 63-58 and earned a date with South Carolina in Sunday’s national championship game. It’s the Huskies’ first title game appearance since 2016.
UConn led for over 36 minutes — including the entire fourth quarter — to secure the victory. The Huskies won the game on the foul line, going 15-of-17 in the final period and 16-of-20 overall while Stanford made just 8-of-13 from the stripe.
Aaliyah Edwards finished with eight points and eight rebounds and came up big in crunch time with a couple of tough rebounds, a charge, and three clutch free throws to help UConn get the win.
