WE [BROKE] HISTORY! WE MADE HISTORY! Most Americans would be hard pressed to remember the last time that the Connecticut Huskies women’s basketball team lost a game. For a record 90 games, the UCONN women went undefeated against every team that challenged them. The winning streak is the longest ever in Division 1 NCAA basketball. It has all come to an end. Stanford ended the dominant streak with a controlling victory at home in front of Condi Rice and a sold out arena. History has been broken, and made, folks.
