UConn defeated Notre Dame 70-52 to advance to the Final Four, marking their 17th Final Four in 18 years. The defending champion UConn's defense disrupted Notre Dame's All-American Hannah Hidalgo's performance in the game, which saw her score her first points of the game after missing all four shots in the first quarter. Despite a strong performance from HidalGo, UConn managed to limit her scoring to 22 points and 11 rebounds. The team's defense was key in the victory, with UConn leading the nation in both opposing field goal percentage (33.3%) and points allowed (50.1). This victory leaves UConn with the potential No. 1 pick in the NCAA Draft for the second consecutive year, with potential forward Sarah Strong potentially being the top pick in two years.
