The Stanford Lady Cardinal gave the University of Connecticut Lady Huskies their last loss one thousand days ago...Tonight, they snapped UCONN's NCAA Men & Women's Collegiate Basketball record of 90 consecutive wins, with a 71-59 victory at Maples Pavilion on the campus of Stanford University. Stanford extends it's own home winning streak to 51 games. Jeanette Pohlen led the Lady Cardinal with 31 points and 9 rebounds. Perhaps the greatest Women's player in the world right now, Maya Moore, was held to just 14 points on 5-15 shooting.
I don't care what level of sports you are in, or if it's men or women, UCONN's win streak is one of the greatest in all of sports and should be celebrated. Stanford was the better team on the floor tonight, but what the UCONN women did for their sport was a good thing. It brought attention to all of women's college basketball like it has never seen before.
