The UConn women’s basketball team continued their dominant play with a convincing victory over Creighton on Saturday. The final score of 80-47 underscored the Huskies’ complete control of the game, as they outplayed their opponents in every facet of the game.
UConn came out of the gates firing, jumping out to an early lead and never looking back. The Huskies shot 56.1% from the field, including an impressive 45.5% from beyond the arc. They were equally dominant on defense, holding Creighton to just 32.1% shooting and forcing 16 turnovers.
Megan Walker led the way for UConn with 21 points, while Crystal Dangerfield added 15 points and nine assists. The Huskies also got solid contributions from Christyn Williams (13 points) and Olivia Nelson-Ododa (12 points).
This victory was just the latest in a long line of dominant performances by the UConn women’s basketball team this season. Through 19 games, they have yet to lose a single game and have defeated their opponents by an average of almost 30 points per game.
This is a team that is firing on all cylinders, with a potent offensive attack and a stifling defense. They have multiple players who can step up and lead the way on any given night, making them one of the most well-rounded teams in the country.
Even more impressive is the fact that the Huskies have achieved this level of success despite losing a number of key players from last year’s team. They have had to rely on young players stepping up and filling the void, and they have done so admirably.
This latest victory over Creighton is just further proof that the UConn women’s basketball team is one of the best in the country. They will look to continue their dominance as they head into the home stretch of the regular season and prepare for the NCAA tournament.
