Sue Bird scored 20 points as the Huskies completed their conference programme at 15-1 and finished the regular season with a 25-2 overall record. Notre Dame shared the league title.

A 28-6 run during the first half helped Connecticut reach the interval with a 44-18 advantage.

Context and dates
The shared championship did not mean the teams received identical conference-tournament seeds. Notre Dame took the first seed through the head-to-head tiebreak, while Connecticut entered the tournament as the second seed. This report combines the match result and its immediate title consequence as one underlying development. The official box places the game in South Orange; an inconsistent city label in another retrospective listing and disputed attendance figures are not used.
