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.

Paige Bueckers became the fastest UConn women's basketball player of all time to reach 2,000 career points for the Huskies.
