UCONN Lady Huskies Capture No. 89. Clap For Them!

 Major congratulations to Coach Geno Auriemma, Maya Moore (setting a career high 41 pts., 10 rebounds), Tiffany Hayes, and the rest of the University of Connecticut's Women's Basketball team and program.  Unsurprisingly, they have officially made history by surpassing UCLA and legendary Coach John Wooden's 88 game winning streak after beating Florida State 93-62. 

During last year's Big East Tournament, I wrote about the Lady Huskies Rewriting HERstory and looked forward to this day.  At the time, it seemed so far away, yet still very conceivable because that's how stellar, consistent, focused, prepared, and dominant these ladies are.

Their remarkable feat should be celebrated and appreciated by not just female sports fans, but sports fans.  Period.  The fact that only one other sports franchise came this close to achieving such greatness speaks to how amazing this accomplishment really is.  Game recognize game and give these ladies their props.

The Lady Huskies simply can't be stopped.  It's extremely exciting to bear witness to history as they play to keep the streak alive.  Can anyone say back to back to back NCAA championships with zero losses?  No pressure, of course.
