The 5-foot-11 Fudd shot 3-of-9 from the field – including 2-of-4 from the 3-point line – and made two of her free throw attempts in a 29-minute performance. The loss broke the Huskies' four-game winning streak against the Lady Vols, who cut the series deficit to 17-10.

Huskies vs. Lady Vols' Game Recap: UConn misfires, loses to Tennessee

UConn failed to extend its dominance over Tennessee, misfiring all game to lose by four points, 80-76, on Thursday night.

The Huskies' offense was impeded by the Lady Vols' excellent defense, forcing the Geno Auriemma-coached squad to shoot 40.3% from the field (29-of-72), including a 5-of-20 clip from the 3-point line.

UConn was also outhustled off the boards, with Tennessee grabbing 46 rebounds (29 from the defensive glass). The Huskies could only muster 34 rebounds, 21 from the defensive end.

The visitors came up with a 20-13 edge in assists and put up more steals (10-6). The Huskies even forced 19 Tennessee turnovers but they couldn't capitalize on these advantages, as the Lady Vols shot better, making 32 of 70 attempts from the field.

The loss will likely affect UConn's Top 25 ranking as they lost to a Top 25 team for the third time in six games. This is a concerning trend that Huskies coach Geno Auriemma needs to address 10 days before their much-anticipated clash against No. 2 South Carolina at Colonial Life Arena on Feb. 16.
