The game remained competitive early, with DePaul closing the gap to 23-20 in the second quarter. However, UConn responded with a 17-4 run to seize control by halftime. The Huskies’ outside shooting played a key role, as they shot 54.5% (12-for-22) from beyond the arc, with Chen going 3-for-3 and Fudd 4-for-7.

Despite poor shooting from Paige Bueckers, the UConn women's basketball team defeated DePaul thanks to Azzi Fudd, Kaitlyn Chen, and Sarah Strong.

UConn star Paige Bueckers reached a milestone in her college career, becoming the fastest player in program history to eclipse the 2,000 point plateau.
