HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Sarah Strong had 29 points, 13 rebounds, seven assists, five steals and three blocked shots and Azzi Fudd added 19 points and seven assists as top-ranked UConn defeated Ohio State 100-68 on Sunday.

Fudd, who missed all five of her shots in the first quarter, connected on three 3-pointers in the second quarter.
