Congratulations to Geno Auriemma & the University of Connecticut women’s basketball team on their 89th straight victory! The Huskies now own the longest winning streak in NCAA Division I basketball history as they surpassed UCLA’s previous record of 88 straight wins from 1971 – 1974. UConn hasn’t lost a game since the 2008 national semifinals and has played more than 600 games since losing back-to-back games. The Huskies are the only team in NCAA Division I women’s basketball history to finish consecutive seasons as undefeated national champions.

Auriemma, UCONN Win Second Consecutive NCAA Women’s Basketball Championship!

By nate.landas - Last updated: Wednesday, April 7, 2010

The University of Connecticut, led by Geno Auriemma, won their second consecutive NCAA Women’s Basketball Championship and Auriemma’s seventh overall. The Huskies (39-0) are the first team ever to have consecutive unbeaten seasons, but that doesn’t cover it. Connecticut has won 78 straight contests and have stamped themselves as one of the most dominant teams ever – in their sport or any other, men or women.

They’ve been unstoppable over the past two years, winning every game until Tuesday night by double figures, and passing their own NCAA women’s Division I record of 70 straight wins set from 2001-03 in early March. The championship victory put them within 10 of the vaunted 88-game winning streak set by the UCLA men in the early 1970s.
