STORRS, Conn. (AP) — Aubrey Griffin scored 19 of her 29 points in the second half to lead UConn past Princeton.

TOLEDO 71, NO. 14 MICHIGAN 68

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Sammi Mikonowicz made a layup with 13.6 seconds left and then added two free throws with 3.1 seconds remaining as Toledo got its first win over a ranked team in 12 years and first on the road since March of 1996.

The Rockets (7-2) extended their nation’s-best road winning streak to 14 games and ended Michigan’s home winning streak at 21, which was the third-longest in the nation.

Sophia Wiard led Toledo with 15 points and Nan Garcia had 14, both hitting three 3-pointers.

Laila Phelia had 20 points and eight rebounds and Emily Kiser had 15 points and eight boards for Michigan (9-1).

NO. 20 MARYLAND 77, PURDUE 44

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — Shyanne Sellers made her first 3-pointer of the game just before the final buzzer and Maryland beat Purdue for coach Brenda Frese’s 600th win.

After a Purdue turnover in the closing seconds, Sellers inbounded the ball to Abby Meyers, who drove into the lane to draw defenders and passed it out to her wide-open teammate for the game-winning 3.

It was Maryland’s second buzzer-beating win in a week. Diamond Miller sank a jumper to top then-No. 7 Notre Dame 74-72 last Thursday.

Meyers scored a team-high 19 points for Maryland (8-3, 1-1 Big Ten). Miller added 18 points and Sellers had 15.

Abbey Ellis scored 18 points for Purdue (8-2, 1-1), which shot 55% from the field.
