UConn women’s basketball kicked off 2023 with a dominant 80-47 road win over the Butler Bulldogs.
The Huskies were without head coach Geno Auriemma, who traveled with the team but did not coach after feeling unwell pregame. In his place, Chris Dailey improved to 16-0 as acting head coach.
Caroline Ducharme also missed out after entering concussion protocol following an injury in practice on Monday. Azzi Fudd remained sidelined with a right knee injury, but Aubrey Griffin returned from a two-game absence due to COVID-19 and finished with 15 points and seven rebounds.
Aaliyah Edwards couldn’t be stopped, racking up 20 points, nine rebounds and three assists on 10-of-12 shooting.
