How It Happened
The Black Knights came out firing against the 2025-26 national semifinalists. Camryn Tade opened the scoring with a layup, and Fiona Hastick followed with a 3-pointer to put Army up 5-1. Reganne Reardon hit back-to-back 3s, and Hastick added another from deep to give Army an 18-10 lead with 2:59 left in the first quarter.
Army's defense set the tone early, holding UConn to 6-of-17 (35.3 percent) shooting in the opening frame. The Huskies closed the quarter on an 11-0 run, capped by three free throws with two seconds left, to take a 21-18 lead.
UConn took control in the second quarter, outscoring Army 32-7 to lead 53-25 at the half.
The Black Knights answered out of the break. Tade scored the first five points of the second half and Kya Smith hit a 3 as Army opened the third quarter on an 8-2 run.
