For the third time this season, UConn women’s basketball fell apart in the fourth quarter on its way to a defeat. This time, the No. 6 Louisville Cardinals outscored the No. 7 Huskies 27-19 over the final 10 minutes en route to a 69-64 victory.
Freshman Caroline Ducharme did her best to put the team on her back with a career-high 24 points — 20 of which came in the second half — and scored the Huskies’ first 10 points of the fourth, but it wasn’t enough. Louisville took the lead thanks to a 3-pointer from Hailey Van Lith with 3:55 left and never looked back.
