The UConn Huskies were named the unanimous No. 1 in the AP Top 25 poll for a sixth straight week, announced Monday afternoon. The Huskies are the lone undefeated women’s team in the country at 27-0. Head Coach Geno Auriemma has led the Huskies to 654 appearances in the poll during his 41-year career to match Tara VanDerveer for most all-time, who retired from Stanford in 2024.

Seton Hall sophomore guard Ja’Kahla Craft had one of the best scoring performances in Seton Hall history in the 96-72 win versus DePaul. She played a perfect game, breaking Seton Hall's single-game record for efficiency with a minimum of 10 attempts by going 11-for-11 from the field, including 4-for-4 from three-point range. She finished with a game-high 26 points, which doubled her previous career-high in scoring. She also had four rebounds in the all-time performance.

UConn duo of Sarah Strong and Azzi Fudd were named to the 30-player late-season team for the 2026 Jersey Mike's Naismith Trophy Women's College Player of the Year, as announced by the Atlanta Tipoff Club on Tuesday.  Strong leads the Huskies, averaging 19.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 3.2 steals, and 1.6 blocks per game. Fudd has a .495/.463/.949 shooting split this season. Seven Huskies have won the Naismith Trophy 11 times: Rebecca Lobo (1995), Sue Bird (2002), Diana Taurasi (2003, '04), Maya Moore (2009, '11), Tina Charles (2010), Breanna Stewart (2014, '15, '16), and Paige Bueckers (2021).
