No. 1 UConn women’s basketball clobbers Creighton to stay perfect

The No. 1-ranked UConn women’s basketball team started slow but, after a big second quarter, cruised to a 95-55 victory over Creighton in Omaha, Nebraska on Sunday, Jan. 11.

Sarah Strong had her fifth double-double of the season with 18 points and 13 rebounds. The sophomore forward added six assists and five steals.

‘I am not really thinking about the game, I am just sort of out there, making reads, seeing what the game gives me and playing off my teammates,’ Strong said postgame when asked about her stat line.

Blanca Quiñonez added 15 points and Azzi Fudd 14 for UConn (17-0, 8-0 Big East). The Huskies continued their dominating defense with 15 steals and 26 points off turnovers. But, UConn also committed an uncharacteristic 21 turnovers.

Ava Zediker had 23 points and Grace Boffeli nine rebounds to lead Creighton (7-10, 3-5 Big East).

UConn is 13-0 all-time vs. Creighton.
