The UConn women's basketball team secured an 89-53 victory over the Marquette Golden Eagles in their final home game of 2025, showcasing the depth and strength of the top-ranked Huskies. The game, played at PeoplesBank Arena in Hartford, Connecticut, was a display of superior teamwork and individual brilliance, especially from UConn's standout player, Sarah Strong.
Strong, who has been a cornerstone for the Huskies, delivered a remarkable performance with 22 points and seven rebounds in just three quarters. Her nine consecutive made field goals throughout the game proved decisive in the outcome, solidifying her role as a key player for the UConn team.

The final score of 89-53 reflects the significant disparity in performance and skill demonstrated by the two teams.
