ATLANTA (AP) — Maya Moore scored 30 points in her homecoming to Atlanta, leading No. 1 Connecticut to its 81st consecutive victory with a 71-51 rout of Georgia Tech on Sunday.
The Huskies (3-0) tied Washington University, an NCAA Division III school, for the most consecutive wins by a woman’s program at any level. The Bears won 81 in a row from 1998-2001.
UConn should break the mark against Howard on Friday, then set off toward the next milestone: UCLA’s 88-game winning streak during the 1970s, the longest by a men’s program.
Coming off a one-point win over No. 2 Baylor, the Huskies had a much easier time against Georgia Tech (3-2). They took control with a 14-0 run midway through the first half, led 41-23 at halftime and were never seriously threatened over the final 20 minutes.
