UConn remains the No. 1 team in The Associated Press women’s basketball poll Monday after facing a tough test from Maryland.

The Huskies topped the Terrapins by 10 points at the Maggie Dixon Classic last Monday. UConn (11-0) only led by 4 in the final minute before pulling away. The Huskies have a busy week with three games over the next seven days.

South Carolina and Notre Dame stay second and third in the Top 25. Texas moved up to fourth while Ohio State is fifth. It’s the Buckeyes highest ranking in nearly six years as they moved up four spots after beating then-No. 6 Maryland.

Baylor, Mississippi State, Maryland, Stanford and Kentucky round out the first 10.

Seton Hall re-entered the poll at No. 25 while Miami fell out. The Pirates host No. 24 DePaul on Tuesday.

Iowa received 20 votes in this weeks poll and Iowa State received 3 votes.
