Caitlin Clark, Iowa Beat UConn On Game-Deciding Foul In Final Four

The Iowa Hawkeyes and superstar guard Caitlin Clark are bound for another national championship game, knocking off the Connecticut Huskies 71-69 in a comeback effort over UConn.

Iowa trailed by six points at halftime but steadily worked to take the lead in the second half. Clark scored 21 points with nine rebounds against a talented group of UConn defenders, led by Nika Mühl.

The matchup ultimately came down to a final possession for the Huskies, who trailed by one in the final seconds. UConn lost that chance when forward Aaliyah Edwards was called for an offensive foul on a moving screen. Iowa made one more free throw and grabbed a sealing rebound to earn a hard-fought victory at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland.

Was the right call made in the game’s biggest moment?

Iowa fell to LSU in last season’s championship game and look to finish off a redemption tour against the undefeated South Carolina Gamecocks and head coach Dawn Staley.
