DENVER - Kiah Stokes played well in the semifinals of the NCAA women's basketball tournament Sunday, but it wasn't enough to save the Connecticut Huskies.
Notre Dame defeated UConn, 83-75, in overtime before 19,028 fans and a national television audience on ESPN.
Stokes, a 6-foot-3 freshman from Linn-Mar High School, played 16 minutes as a reserve and contributed four points, four rebounds, two blocked shots and an assist. She saw extended playing time because Stefanie Dolson, UConn's starting center, ran into foul problems.
Baylor defeated Stanford, 59-47, in the other semifinal Sunday and will face Notre Dame for the national title Tuesday night.
Connecticut finished the season with a 33-5 record.
