UConn's Aaliyah Edwards was called for a disastrous off-ball foul with a chance to win the game over the Iowa Hawkeyes, who held off the late-game surge to reach the NCAA title game.
The UConn Huskies gave Caitlin Clark fits in the Final Four, but that didn’t matter as the Iowa Hawkeyes are heading to the national title game again after a 71-69 win. The Huskies' Nika Mühl made it a one-point game after UConn forced a steal on Iowa, and they would get a chance to take the lead with just seconds left on the clock after forcing a Hawkeyes turnover.
She still finished with 21 points on 7-of-18 shooting, including just 3-of-11 from three, but it was forward Hannah Stuekle leading the Hawkeyes with 23 points in a fantastic offensive performance. Stuelke was strong in the paint, hitting nine of her 12 shots and knocking down five of her seven free throw attempts. She also had three rebounds, one assist and one block.
