Freshmen aim to make a big impact in women’s NCAA Tournament

UConn’s Paige Bueckers is just one in a group of freshmen expected to have an impact on this year’s women’s NCAA Tournament. Iowa’s Caitlin Clark, who leads the nation in scoring at 26.7 points per game, Washington State’s  Charlisse Leger-Walker and Louisville’s Hailey Van Lith are among the others. Oregon says its freshman point guard, Te-Hina Paupau, won’t be available for the start of the tournament, but has a chance to return if the Ducks are able to make a deep tournament run without her.
