UConn women's basketball secured an exhibition victory over Boston College, marking their unofficial return to the court. The Huskies, two weeks into practice, showcased a mix of dominance and early struggles. Sophomore Morgan Cheli, sidelined with an ankle injury, missed the game. The starting lineup featured Azzi Fudd, KK Arnold, Ashlynn Shade, Serah Williams, and Sarah Strong. Williams and Strong stood out, while UConn initially faced balanced scoring challenges. Fudd led with 20 points, three rebounds, and four assists, followed by Strong's 17 points, five rebounds, and five assists. The team's defense shone, with Arnold anchoring it, and Williams providing rim protection. However, the Huskies' offense became sloppy when they picked up the pace, with rushed passes and turnovers. Despite this, UConn's exhibition game offered valuable insights into their progress and areas for improvement ahead of the official season.
