Azzi Fudd's Career High Leads UConn to Victory

UConn Huskies guard Azzi Fudd set a new career high with 34 points in a dominant 78-40 victory over the St. John's Red Storm, featuring a career-best eight 3-pointers. Fudd, overcoming past injuries, was nearly unstoppable, shooting 13-for-22 from the field, including 8-of-14 from beyond the arc. Her performance, alongside contributions from teammates like Paige Bueckers and Aubrey Griffin, helped the Huskies improve to 23-3 overall and maintain a perfect 14-0 record in Big East play. UConn's defense was equally formidable, forcing 22 turnovers and holding St. John's to 25% shooting. The victory sets up a significant upcoming road match against defending national champions, the South Carolina Gamecocks, providing an opportunity to further solidify their standing ahead of the national tournament. Fans and Fudd herself credited teamwork and focused preparation for the stellar performance.
