STORRS, Conn. (AP)—Tina Charles scored all of her 25 points in the first half and grabbed 13 rebounds to help top-ranked Connecticut rout No. 7 North Carolina 88-47 on Saturday and win their 54th consecutive game.
The streak ties one Louisiana Tech made from 1980-82 as the second-longest in Division I women’s basketball history. UConn also has the longest streak, 70 straight between 2001 and 2003.
The Huskies have run through their opponents during the current streak, winning every game by at least double digits. Connecticut has really turned it on against the nine top 10 teams its faced, winning by an average of just over 27 points.
Tiffany Hayes had 15 points and three players recorded double doubles for UConn (15-0).
