SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) – Morgan Tuck scored a career-high 25 points and Kiah Stokes added 18 rebounds to help No. 3 UConn beat second-ranked Notre Dame 76-58 on Saturday in the Jimmy V Classic.

When the two teams met last April in the national championship game, the Huskies came away with a 79-58 victory.

Both teams were unbeaten at that point setting up the first matchup of undefeated teams in NCAA championship history.

Tuck didn’t play in that game as she was recovering from microfracture surgery in her right knee last January. She made her presence felt on Saturday.

UConn (6-1) trailed 28-18 midway through the first half before Tuck and Stokes took over, keying a 22-4 run over the next 10 minutes and giving the Huskies control of the game.
