UConn Wins 94-47 Over Butler, Streak Hits 29

No. 1 UConn cruised to a 94-47 victory over Butler on Sunday, extending its winning streak to 29 games and solidifying its dominance in women's college basketball. The Huskies, the defending national champions, improved to 13-0 overall and 4-0 in Big East Conference play with the win at Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.

Sarah Strong led UConn with 15 points, seven assists, six rebounds and three steals in a comprehensive performance. Azzi Fudd contributed 13 points, while Blanca Quinonez added 12. The Huskies capitalized on Butler's struggles, forcing 29 turnovers that resulted in 48 points and outscoring the Bulldogs 50-12 in the paint. A pivotal 27-0 run spanning nearly 10 minutes in the first half, fueled by scoring from six different players, pushed UConn's lead to 33-10. Butler, now 7-7 overall and 1-3 in conference, went 0-for-11 from the field and committed 10 turnovers during that stretch. Caroline Dotsey and Addison Baxter each scored 10 points for the Bulldogs, who ended a 13-minute, 43-second field goal drought with a jumper late in the second quarter.

UConn has not lost since an 80-76 defeat at then-No. 19 Tennessee on Feb. 6 and has now won 51 consecutive games...
