No. 2 UConn is going to the national championship in the 2022 NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament after eliminating No. 1 Stanford, the defending champions.
It was a low-scoring affair, and that became apparent very early in the opening quarter as no team could get any offense going. The Huskies led 12-9 after the first quarter as Stanford shot 4 of 16 overall.
Offense started flowing for both teams in the latter half of the second quarter. UConn senior guard Evina Westbrook made three 3s to ignite the Huskies while Haley Jones and Cameron Brink dominated the paint for the Cardinals, finishing the half with eight points apiece. The third quarter also went back and forth, but the Huskies began pulling away midway through the fourth after Paige Bueckers made a layup in transition to push the lead to eight, the largest for any team.
