The Rutgers Women’s basketball season came to a close last night with a loss to #1 seeded Connecticut in Greensboro, NC. The No. 2-seeded Scarlet Knights fell 66-56, but the game was much closer than that. The RU squad led by as much as 14 points in the first half but the Huskies battled back. When UConn’s Maya Moore hit a tie breaking 3-pointer with less than three minutes to go in the game, UConn was in the driver’s seat.
Having to make some jumpers while at the same time fouling to regain control of the ball (and hoping UConn would miss the foul shots), RU couldn’t get the ball to go in the hoop and UConn couldn’t keep it out. Rutgers rarely scored in those final minutes. The Huskies were a perfect 14-for-14 from the free throw stripe.
UConn now advances to the Final 4 to face off against Stanford, a team they beat way back in November at the Paradise Jam in the Virgin Islands. The score then was nearly identical to last night’s: 66-54.
