"It feels great,'' Charles said. "It's a huge honor.

Charles was the USA's leading scorer and rebounder while helping the 2009 USA Women's World University Games Team capture a perfect record and gold medal July 2-11 in Belgrade, Serbia.

Following training camp, she averaged team second-bests for points and rebounds as the only collegiate athlete on the USA Women's National Team that rolled to three straight wins and a gold medal in the 2009 Ekaterinburg International Invitational, Oct. 9-11 in Russia. Overall, Charles spent 39 days in 2009 training or competing with a USA Basketball team. USA Basketball will nominate Charles for the U.S. Olympic Committee's 2010 SportsWoman of the Year, which is expected to be announced in January of 2010.

2009-10 UCONN HUSKIES BASKETBALL GAME NOTES 18 1995, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2009 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS 4 10 FINAL FOURS 4 32 BIG EAST CHAMPIONSHIPS UCONN AND CONNECTICUT PUBLIC TELEVISION SIGN FOUR-YEAR EXTENSION STORRS, Conn. (March 1, 2008) The University of Connecticut Division of Athletics and Connecticut Public Television (CPTV) have signed a new four-year contract extension for CPTV to continue to be UConn s exclusive local market television broadcast partner for women s basketball. Under the agreement, all local television rights for UConn women s basketball which are controlled by the University are assigned to CPTV. All other UConn games are controlled by the BIG EAST Conference and subject to Conference television contracts. The agreement runs from the 2008-09 academic year through 2011-12 and calls for CPTV to televise a minimum of 68 UConn women s basketball games over the fouryear contract period. "The UConn Division of Athletics and Connecticut Public Television have the most unique partnership in college sports television today," says UConn Director of Athletics Jeffrey Hathaway, picutured above with Jerrry Franklin of CPTV. "We are very pleased to announce that our partnership with CPTV to provide local market television coverage of Husky women s basketball games will continue through the 2011-12 season. UConn receives more media attention on both the national and local level than any other women s basketball team in the country and this agreement with CPTV will ensure that will continue for years to come." This latest agreement will generate a minimum of $3,600,000 in cash to the University. CPTV will guarantee UConn seasonal rights of $1,000,000 for the 2008-09 women s basketball local market television rights and that fee for the following years will be -- $1,000,000 in 2009-2010, $800,000 in 2010-11 and $800,000 in 2011-12. The $900,000 average annual rights fee is a 12% increase from the previous contract which averaged $802,000 per year. Among the new elements of the agreement is the ability for the University to share in corporate underwriting revenue and to sell a signature sponsorship associated with women s basketball broadcasts on CPTV. "Connecticut Public Television has set the standard for the televising of college women s basketball," says Hathaway. "CPTV began to televise our women s basketball games in 1994 and has become a very important reason why our women s basketball program enjoys so much success on an annual basis. We appreciate (CPTV President and CEO) Jerry Franklin s leadership and the tremendous support and dedication provided by CPTV s viewers and staff." In addition to the UConn games on CPTV, the agreement calls for the continuation of The Geno Auriemma Show, which appears on CPTV 12 times during the season. "We're incredibly pleased to be able to continue our relationship with the University of Connecticut," says Jerry Franklin, President and CEO of Connecticut Public Television. "Our unique programming partnership with UConn Athletics has had a substantial impact on women's basketball across the country. With the support of our viewers, we've been able to showcase the remarkable talents of the women's basketball program and expand the reach of the sport to Connecticut residents and beyond. "What we've jointly created - UConn Athletics, CPTV and the people of Connecticut - is a tribute to the loyalty of our basketball fans. It's fitting that this women's basketball team, through our landmark partnership, has become recognized as one of the most admired and respected teams in the country." CPTV began its coverage of UConn women s basketball late in the 1993-94 season, covering the championship game of the 1994 BIG EAST Women s Basketball Tournament and televising three games in the 1994 NCAA Tournament. During the past 15 seasons, Connecticut Public Television has televised a total of 308 UConn women s basketball games. In those 308 games, Connecticut has compiled a stunning 300-8 overall record. During the 2007-08 season, CPTV carried a total of 24 UConn women s basketball games. The University and CPTV take great pride in the fact that UConn Women s Basketball on CPTV continues to be the highest-rated locally produced public television program in the nation.

NORTHEASTERN - 35 #1/1 CONNECTICUT - 105 STORRS, Conn. - Senior Tina Charles led all players with 26 points and 13 rebounds as the No. 1/1 University of Connecticut women's basketball team opened the 2009-10 regular season with a decisive 105-35 victory over Northeastern on Saturday afternoon in Gampel Pavilion. Charles, who was 11-of-17 from the field in the game, led six Huskies (1-0) in double-figures. She was joined by junior Maya Moore, who added 18 points and 10 rebounds, while sophomore Tiffany Hayes had 14 and senior Kalana Greene had 13. Senior Meghan Gardler and sophomore Caroline Doty each added 10 points for UConn, which improved to 31-5 overall in home openers with the win over Northeastern (0-1). UConn opened the game on a 28-0 run in the first 5:34 of the contest, including nine points from Charles and eight from Doty. Charles led all scorers at the break with 17 on 7-of-9 shooting from the floor with nine rebounds and one assist. With those nine rebounds, Charles became just the third player in UConn history to tally 1,000 career rebounds. Moore had 12 points on 5-of-7 shooting with seven rebounds, two assists and one steal while Hayes also had 12 points to go along with two rebounds, four assists and two steals. The Huskies led 69-15 at halftime and shot.683 (28-of-41) from the floor while holding Northwestern to just.160 (4-of-25) in the half. The 69 points scored by the Huskies was the most in program history in any half, besting the 68 points scored in the first half against Providence on January 6, 1998. Northeastern opened the second half with a 3-pointer by Brittany Wilson, but UConn followed that with 11 points to take an 81-18 lead with 13:28 to play and did not look back. Charles added to her 39th career doubledouble total with nine points and four rebounds in the second half. Moore, who recorded her 28th career double-double in the victory, added six points and three boards in the final half. UConn finished the game shooting.600 (42-of-70) from the field and also grabbed 61 rebounds, including 41 on the defensive end. Northwestern shot.193 (11-of-57) from the floor in the game. With her 13 points, Greene became the 33rd player in UConn history to reach the 1,000-point plateau. Redshirt freshman Heather Buck had four points and 12 rebounds in her first collegiate game. Rachael Pecota led the way for Northeastern with 10 points and four points, while Kim Carr and Kashaia Cannon each had seven points. The 105 points scored by UConn in the game marks the 60th time in program history that the team has scored at least 100 points, and the last time it happened was March 22, 2009, a 104-65 victory over Vermont in the first round of the 2009 NCAA Tournament. The 70-point margin of victory for the Huskies on Saturday was the largest for a UConn team since defeating Long Island in the first round of the NCAA Tournament by 72 (101-29) on March 17, 2001.

Junior Maya Moore scored 21 points, while pulling down seven rebounds in 23 minutes of play as senior Tina Charles added 18 points and nine rebounds for the Huskies in tonight's contest. Caroline Doty added 11 points on 4-of-5 shooting for UConn, including a 3-of-4 clip from behind the arc. In their 18th all-time victory over Holy Cross, UConn opened tonight's contest with a 16-3 run on 14 points from inside the paint as the Huskies established themselves early on both ends of the court. Moore led the charge as she recorded 12 points in a span of 2:19 during the first half, improving her tally to 15 points in the first 12:50 of play as UConn took a 37-14 lead. The UConn defense dominated from the tip as it recorded 12 steals in the first half and did not allow a point in the paint to the Crusaders until the 4:17 mark. Holy Cross committed 17 first-half turnovers, giving UConn 32 points on those mistakes. UConn shot.556 (20-of-36) before the break as the Huskies held Holy Cross to.364 (8-of-22) from the field.

With the victory, UConn has now won 42 consecutive games by a margin of 10 points or more as head coach Geno Auriemma earned his 699th career victory. UConn finished the night shooting.603 (35-of-58) from the floor and out rebounded the Crusaders 37-21.

(AP)--Maya Moore scored 23 points to lead Connecticut to a 91-46 rout of Hofstra Friday in the WBCA Classic, giving UConn coach Geno Auriemma his 700th career victory. Tina Charles added 17 points and eight rebounds for the Huskies (4-0), who have now won 43 in a row. Auriemma, who will coach the 2012 Olympic team, becomes the eighth active coach to reach 700 Division I wins, and the fastest to do it, needing just 822 games. Nicole Capurso had nine points for previously unbeaten Hofstra (3-1), which had 32 turnovers and shot just 33 percent from the floor. Auriemma, in his 25th year, has coached UConn to six national championships and three perfect seasons. After the game, Connecticut's players lined up wearing T-shirts with their coach's image on it, each with a letter that spelled out "Congrats 700." They then gathered around the coach and tried to mess up his alwaysperfect hairdo, which stayed in place. UConn led just 8-7 early, before a pair of lay-ups by Moore started a 12-0 run. The reigning national player of the year scored 18 in the first half, and hit eight of her first nine shots, helping UConn build a 43-23 halftime lead. She also had eight rebounds and five steals. The Huskies opened the second half by outscoring the Pride 20-5 and the rout was on. Kalana Greene had 14 points for the Huskies, 12 after intermission, and Tiffany Hayes added 10 points. UConn is now 89-14 all-time in November, and has not lost a game before Dec. 1 since 2004 when it was beaten by North Carolina. Connecticut has won 12 straight titles at in-season tournaments and has not lost at home since Jan. 6, 2007, a string of 41 consecutive games and the nation's longest active streak. Auriemma, who is in his 25th season, won his first game against on Nov. 23, 1985, 73-67 over Iona. He is 309 wins behind Tennessee's Pat Summitt and joins Rutgers' C. Vivian Stringer, North Carolina's Sylvia Hatchell, Stanford's Tara VanDerveer, Montana's Robin Selvig, Georgia's Andy Landers and Virginia's Deb Ryan on the career wins list in women's college basketball.

RICHMOND - 37 #1/1 CONNECTICUT - 86 GAME #6 November 29, 2009 Gampel Pavilion Storrs, Conn. CLEMSON - 48 #1/1 CONNECTICUT - 87 STORRS, Conn. (AP) - Connecticut coach Geno Auriemma says he doesn't believe in labeling his guards. His two starters both play point at times, and shooting guard at others. Caroline Doty scored 17 points Saturday and Tiffany Hayes had 15 points, seven assists and no turnovers and the top-ranked Huskies routed Richmond 86-37 Saturday night in the WBCA Classic. "If you play for us and you're a guard, you should be able to catch and pass and dribble and shoot it," Auriemma said. "Both of them can do that." UConn (5-0) hit 13 shots from 3-point range, including 10 in the first half to set a school record. Doty, who was one point off her career high, hit five of her seven shots from behind the arc, while Maya Moore had three 3s. "Our post players gave us opportunities by screening and opening up," Doty said. "They went behind the screen on defense, which gave us the green light to go ahead and shoot the 3, and we took it." Brittani Shells had 12 points to lead Richmond (4-2), which beat Clemson 86-67 on Friday in the first game of the tournament. Spiders coach Michael Shafer said the plan was to force UConn outside and keep the Huskies from scoring layups. "We did not intend to give them open shots," he said. "And I thought that's exactly what happened. We did not contest their shooters and they hit them." Connecticut has won 44 consecutive games, each by at least 10 points, and has won four of its five games this season by more than 40. Auriemma had criticized the Huskies on Friday for allowing Hofstra to stay within a point of his team through the first few minutes of their opening-round game. UConn responded by jumping out to a 14-0 lead on Saturday. Abby Oliver scored the Spiders' first points almost 6 minutes into the game. A 16-0 UConn run later in the half made it 41-6. Doty had 14 of her points at intermission, including four of the Huskies' 3-pointers, and UConn went into the break up 51-14. UConn opened the second half on an 8-2 run and built the lead from there. Tina Charles had 13 points, freshman Kelly Farris had 12 and Moore added 11 for UConn, which shot 60 percent from the floor and 62 percent from 3-point range. UConn held the Spiders to 34 percent shooting, the 194th straight time the Huskies have held an opponent under 50 percent. "I don't know that defensively, we could play any better than that," Auriemma said. On Sunday, the Huskies will go for their 38th straight win and 13th straight title at an in-season tournament when they play Clemson. The Tigers are 1-1 in this tournament, losing 86-67 to Richmond on Friday and beating Hofstra 69-68 on Saturday. UConn, which beat Hofstra 91-46 to give Auriemma his 700th win, is in the middle of a seven-game homestand, which concludes with a Dec. 23 showdown against No. 2 Stanford. "I think it's the one after 700 that separates you from everyone else," Auriemma joked. "No question about that."

(AP) -- Kalana Greene scored a career-high 28 points and top-ranked Connecticut blew out another opponent with an 87-48 win over Clemson on Sunday to win the WBCA Classic. Tina Charles had 20 points and nine rebounds and Maya Moore added 19 points for UConn, which extended its winning streak to 45 games. The Huskies, who beat Hofstra 91-46 on Friday, and routed Richmond 86-37 on Saturday, have won 13 consecutive in-season tournaments dating back to 1992. Lele Hardy had 17 points for Clemson, which actually led the game for over 2 1/2 minutes, the first time UConn has trailed all season. Lindsay Welker added 11. UConn has won each game in its streak by at least 10 points, and has won all six games this season by at least 25 points. Clemson became the first team this season to take a lead on the Huskies when Hardy hit a 3-pointer 33 seconds into the game to make it 3-2. The Tigers were up 9-6 just over 2 minutes into the contest, but that was the biggest advantage they would have. Charles scored 10 of the Huskies first 14 points, and sparked a 16-2 run that made it 22-11. Clemson tried to stay with the Huskies, cutting the lead to 31-21 on another 3-pointer by Hardy that prompted UConn coach Geno Auriemma to call a timeout. UConn scored the next 11 points. Kalana Greene had three steals and two layups in the final minute before intermission as the Huskies extended the lead to 54-27. She scored 16 second-half points, and also had eight rebounds and four steals. Connecticut missed all nine of its 3-point attempts in the first half, and was just two of 15 for the game, after hitting 13 on Saturday against Richmond. The Huskies scored 62 points in the paint, while holding Clemson to 20. Connecticut is now 3-1 against Clemson. The 61-59 loss came on March 17, 1990 in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, and was the last time the Huskies lost an NCAA Tournament game at Gampel Pavilion. The Tigers finished the round-robin tournament 1-2, losing to Richmond 86-67 on Friday and beating Hofstra 69-68 on Saturday. UConn is in the middle of a seven-game homestand, which concludes with a Dec. 23 showdown against No. 2 Stanford.

VERMONT - 42 #1/1 CONNECTICUT - 84 GAME #8 December 10, 2009 XL Center Hartford, Conn. HARTFORD - 45 #1/1 CONNECTICUT - 80 STORRS, Conn. (AP) - Maya Moore scored 20 points as Connecticut overwhelmed Vermont 84-42 Thursday night in a rematch of last year's first-round NCAA tournament game. Tina Charles added 18 points and nine rebounds, giving her 1,059 rebounds for her career and moving her into second place on the school's all-time list behind Rebecca Lobo. The Huskies (7-0), who beat the Catamounts 104-65 in March on their way to a sixth national title, have won 46 consecutive games, and 44 in a row at home. All seven wins this season have come by at least 25 points. Courtney Pilypaitis led Vermont (4-1) with 20 points. May Kotsopoulos, who had been averaging over 20 points a game, was held to five. The defending America East tournament champions beat Boston College and North Carolina State on the road this season. But they were no match for the Huskies. UConn led just 5-4 at the first media timeout, but went on an 11-0 run after the break. A touch pass from Moore to a driving Charles with just over 11 minutes left in the half extended the lead to it 25-9. Charles' rebound of a missed shot by Kotsopoulos a minute later moved her past Jamelle Elliott on the rebounding list. She needs 209 to catch Lobo. UConn had one small scare. Caroline Doty left the game in the first half after trying to split two defenders on a drive to the basket. She was fouled hard, got her arms caught behind her and fell face-first to the floor. Kalana Greene made one of the two foul shots, giving UConn a 38-11 lead. Doty returned in the second half and finished with five points. Meghan Gardler's putback at the halftime buzzer pushed the lead to 50-18. It was the fifth 50-point first half for the Huskies this season. Connecticut turned the ball over just 10 times, and shot 59 percent from the floor, while holding Vermont to just 31 percent. With the win, Connecticut ties Tennessee for the third-longest winning streak in women's Division I history. The Volunteers won 46 straight between 1996 and 1998. Connecticut has never lost to Vermont, winning all 11 games between the two schools. Vermont is now 1-17 all-time against ranked opponents. The team's only win over a ranked team was a 56-48 victory over No. 22 Boston College on Nov. 25, 2007.

(AP) - Maya Moore scored 22 points and top-ranked Connecticut cruised to an 80-45 victory over Hartford on Thursday, extending its winning streak to 47 games. The junior passed Swin Cash into 12th place on the school's scoring list with a 3-pointer 6 minutes into the second half. She also had eight rebounds, six assists and four steals while playing just 25 minutes. Caroline Doty had 13 points, Tiffany Hayes had 12 and Tina Charles added 10 points for the Huskies (8-0). Diana Delva led Hartford with 13 points. The Hawks, (5-2) coached by former UConn point guard Jen Rizzotti, beat a ranked Louisville team earlier this season and its only other loss came to Providence. The Huskies are 11-0 against the Hawks and have beaten them by an average of 26 points in each game. Auriemma's teams are 25-0 against in-state competition. The Huskies used a stifling defense to jump out to a 19-4 lead. Hartford had seven shots from the floor in the first 7 minutes and missed them all. The Hawks also had seven early turnovers, while UConn had six offensive rebounds. Ruthanne Doherty made Hartford's first field goal almost 7 1/2 minutes into the game. The Hawks shot just 35 percent from the floor. Moore, who played center at times against the undersized Hawks, had 15 points and six rebounds at halftime, and UConn led 44-16. UConn scored the first seven points of the second half, and Rizzotti picked up a technical foul. The Hawks responded with an 11-4 run, but never challenged the Huskies, who quickly built the lead back to 30 at 59-29. UConn has not won a game this season by fewer than 25 points. Its 47 game winning streak is the third longest in the history of Division I women's basketball. Erica Beverly had four rebounds for Hartford, becoming the school's all-time leading rebounder. Charles left the game 3 1/2 minutes into the second half when Beverly blocked a shot that hit her in the mouth. She did not return. This was the fifth game of a seven-game homestand, and plays Iona on Dec. 20, before a much anticipated showdown with No. 2 Stanford on Dec. 23.

(AP) -- Maya Moore and top-ranked Connecticut had another easy night. On Wednesday, the Huskies season is about to get a lot harder. Moore tied a season high with 23 points to lead the Huskies to yet another blowout, 90-35 over Iona on Sunday night. She reached 20 points for the sixth time in nine games this season, despite playing just 24 minutes. "If I played her 40, she'd get 35 every night," UConn coach Geno Auriemma said. "She gets 20 by accident. "She better get 40 Wednesday." Tiffany Hayes scored 15 points, Meghan Gardler had 14, and Kalana Greene added 13 points for UConn. The Huskies (9-0) shot 54 percent from the field and forced 34 turnovers. Diana Hubbard scored 10 points for Iona (3-7). The Huskies have won all of their games by at least 25 points and average a 46.4-point margin of victory going into Wednesday's game against No. 2 Stanford. Coming off a 10-day break for exams, UConn looked sluggish early but used a trap defense to take control midway through the first half. Leading 8-7 at the 5-minute mark, the Huskies scored 14 straight points to take a 22-7 lead with 10 minutes remaining. UConn shot 59 percent in first half and forced 18 turnovers by Iona to build a 45-18 lead at halftime. "We weren't happy with our performance, especially the first five minutes," Moore said. "I thought midway through the first half that we just got aggressive, got in the passing lane, got some good momentum plays and made defensive stops." Later in the half, Moore made three straight baskets in 10-0 run to give the Huskies a 37-14 lead. She scored six of UConn's first eight points in the second half. "Maya is an offensive player, she's a scoring machine. So as long as you have her out on the floor you don't have to worry about points being scored," Auriemma said. Against the No. 2 Cardinal, she'll need to be to keep alive the Huskies' 48-game winning streak that started at the beginning of last season. It's the third-longest streak in NCAA Division I women's history. The Huskies hold the longest one--70 from 2001-2003. Louisiana Tech has the second-longest streak--54 games from 1980-82.

Still, the top-ranked Huskies considered it just another win. Maya Moore scored 23 points and Tina Charles added 20 to help Connecticut win its 49th straight game, an 80-68 victory Wednesday night in front of a sellout crowd of 16,294. The Huskies (10-0) won their first nine games this season by at least 25 points and an average of 46. UConn hadn't faced a team the caliber of the Cardinal, who the Huskies beat last season in the national semifinals en route to a perfect 39-0 record and sixth NCAA title. The Cardinal (9-1) proved to be no match as UConn extended the third-longest winning streak in women's basketball history. UConn won 70 straight from 2001-03 and Louisiana Tech had a 54-game streak from 1980-82. "They are definitely head and shoulders above us and play at a different pace," Stanford coach Tara Van- Derveer said. "I'm proud of our team. We've had a really tough stretch. We can learn a lot from this game. We'll benefit from it. For us call it a little `w."' Stanford, which beat then-no. 7 Duke and third-ranked Tennessee last week, was the last team to beat UConn, topping the Huskies in the 2008 Final Four. It was the 44th meeting of the top two teams in the poll: No. 1 leads 25-19. UConn has been involved in 13 of those games, going 11-2--including an 8-1 mark as the No. 1 team. Auriemma attributes the success to UConn treating it like any other game. Kalana Greene added 17 points and Tiffany Hayes had 16 for UConn, which has won every game during its current run by at least 10 points. Nnemkadi Ogwumike scored 20 points and Kayla Pedersen added 14 for the Cardinal. UConn trailed 44-42 early in the second half before going on a 30-6 run over the next 11 minutes. Greene started the spurt with a layup and Moore's 3-pointer with 15:01 gave UConn a 49-44 lead. The Huskies had made just one of their first 14 3s before then. JJ Hones answered with a 3-pointer to bring the Cardinal back within two, but UConn then rattled off 10 straight points-- including five by Charles to take a 12-point lead and bring the first sellout crowd at the XL Center for the UConn women since they played Tennessee on Jan. 6, 2007, to its feet. Ogwumike finally ended a 3 1/2 -minute drought with a layup. UConn scored the next six points on layups to make it 65-49 with 9:30 left. Hayes' layup with 5:51 left gave UConn a 22-point lead. Stanford would only get within 12 the rest of the game. The first 20 minutes was an offensive showcase. UConn led 19-10 early before Stanford went on a 15-2 run capped by Pedersen's jumper that made it 25-21 midway through the first half. Pedersen and Ogwumike had 11 of the Cardinal's 15 points during the spurt. It was the biggest deficit UConn faced all season. The Huskies had only trailed for a total of 2:38 in their first nine games. The teams traded baskets the rest of the half and Stanford led 40-38 at the break. It was the first time UConn found itself down at halftime since the 2008 loss to the Cardinal. Ogwumike had 16 points and Pedersen 12 as Stanford shot 57 percent from the field in the half. The Cardinal finished at 46 percent for the game and were outrebounded 43-29.

(AP) - Tina Charles scored 16 of her 24 points in the second half Monday night to lead No. 1 Connecticut to a 78-59 victory over 12th-ranked Florida State for its 50th straight win. Maya Moore added 16 points for the Huskies, including a dozen in the game's first seven minutes, keying a 17-0 run that gave UConn an early 12-point lead on its way to a 41-35 halftime advantage. UConn (11-0) led the rest of the way, opening a double digit lead just four minutes into the second half and won going away. The Huskies have won all 50 of their games by at least 10 points. Florida State (11-2) pulled within 31-29 on Courtney Ward's jumper with 4:26 in the first half, but never got closer. Jacinta Monroe led the Seminoles with 14 points and freshman Chasity Clayton added 12. Courtney Ward scored 11 points, all in the first half, but committed eight of Florida State's 21 turnovers. Tiffany Hayes added 13 points and Caroline Doty 10 for the Huskies, who failed to score 80 or more points for the first time this season. It was the second win in five days over ranked teams for UConn, which defeated second-ranked Stanford 80-68 last Wednesday. The Huskies won their first nine games this season by an average of 46 points and no team was closer than 25 before the win over Stanford. UConn is now 5-0 against Florida State, defeating the Seminoles 83-71 in a holiday tournament in Mexico last season. Coincidentally, the Huskies also defeated Florida State in 2002 for its 50th straight win during its NCAA record 70-game streak. The Seminoles' only other loss this season was eight days ago to DePaul. A Florida State women's basketball record 6,440 fans attended the game.

(AP) -- Tina Charles scored 19 points and Kalana Greene added 16 to help top-ranked Connecticut rout Seton Hall 91-24 on Saturday for the Huskies' 51st straight victory in the Big East opener for both teams. Maya Moore had 14 points for the Huskies (12-0), who have won every game during their streak by at least 10 points. The three stars combined to go 21 for 28 from the field. The 51 straight victories is third all-time in Division I women's basketball history. UConn only trails its schoolrecord 70 consecutive wins from 2001-03 and Louisiana Tech's 54 in a row from 1980-82. The victory was the 800th in school history, making UConn the ninth school to achieve that milestone. It was also the Huskies' 26th straight win against Seton Hall with the last loss coming on Jan. 5, 1994. That was the only time the Pirates have beaten the Huskies in the last 42 meetings. With the game tied 2-2, the Huskies scored the next 17 points as Seton Hall (8-6) committed eight turnovers during its drought. Greene had nine points during the spurt, including a nifty three-point play that made it 17-2. Ebonie Williams finally ended the Pirates' 6:34 scoreless stretch with a 3-pointer that made it 19-5. That's as close as Seton Hall would get as UConn went on a 15-2 burst over the next 6 minutes to put the game away. By the time Jacquie Fernandes hit a 3-pointer to end the half, the Huskies led 52-12, converting 20 Seton Hall turnovers into 27 points. Greene and Charles each had 14 points at the half, both individually outscoring the Pirates, who were just 5 for 24 from the field by the intermission. When the starters left the game for good early in the second half UConn's lead had ballooned to 54 points. The reserves, led by Meghan Gardler--who had a career-high 16 points--pushed the advantage to 67. The victory marked the Huskies' first 60-point win over a conference opponent since a 106-41 victory over Providence in 2002. Williams scored nine to lead Seton Hall, which couldn't string together consecutive baskets the entire game. The Pirates shot just 17 percent from the field and finished with 28 turnovers.

(AP)-- Tiffany Hayes scored a season-high 22 points as top-ranked Connecticut extended its winning streak to 52 games Monday night with an 84-42 win over South Florida. Maya Moore added 18 points and 10 rebounds for the defending national champions who are now (13-0, 2-0 Big East) this year after going 39-0 in last season's national championship run. Moore's 3-pointer with just under 7 minutes left gave her 1,680 points for her career and moved her into 10th place on the school's all-time scoring list, passing UConn assistant coach Shea Ralph. Tina Charles finished with 14 points, all of them in the second half. She also had eight rebounds Hayes hit six of her 11 shots, including five 3-pointers. Jessica Lawson had 15 points and eight rebounds to lead South Florida (8-5, 0-1). USF had won eight of its previous 10 games, but the Bulls have never beaten the Huskies, falling to 0-9 in a series that dates back to 2002. UConn has won each game in its current winning streak by double digits and is winning games this season by an average of more than 42 points per game. The Huskies ran out to an 18-2 lead, forcing USF coach Jose Fernandez to burn two early timeouts. Hayes hit her first three shots, all 3s, and had 10 points during that run. Moore scored the other eight, before sitting down with two fouls. Charles also picked up two first-half fouls, and Lawson took advantage. With UConn's center on the bench, she led the Bulls on an 11-2 run to close the half that cut the UConn lead to 35-21. UConn used a 11-0 second-half run to go up 55-27 and put the game away. The Huskies, who beat Seton Hall by 67 on Saturday, were not as sharp against USF, turning the ball over 12 times and committing 17 fouls. The win was the Huskies' 27th in a row at the XL Center in Hartford. The Huskies haven't lost a conference home opener since Jan. 2, 1988, when Boston College beat them 72-69. UConn's winning streak is the third longest in NCAA women's history, behind the school's own record of 70 from 2001-03 and Louisiana Tech's 54 from 1980-82.

(AP)--Maya Moore scored 25 points to lead Connecticut to an 83-51 win over Cincinnati in a homecoming for Bearcats coach Jamelle Elliott, a former star player and assistant coach at UConn. Tina Charles added 17 points and had six of the Huskies' season-high 11 blocked shots as UConn (14-0, 3-0 Big East) extended its winning streak to 53 games. Charles passed Svetlana Abrosimova for seventh place on the school's all-time scoring list, and Moore moved into ninth place, passing Ann Strother. Shareese Ulis had 19 points and seven steals to lead Cincinnati (7-7, 0-2). Connecticut played most of the game without point guard Tiffany Hayes, who went down 2 1/2 minutes in with a sprained left ankle. Connecticut Gov. M. Jodi Rell was among those watching in the stands as the Bearcats stayed close for the first 6 minutes. They trailed just 16-10 before UConn went on a 13-2 run. The Huskies later used a 19-4 run to turn a 23-12 lead into a 42-16 advantage, and went into halftime up 52-26. Auriemma went to his reserves much earlier than usual. Little-used Heather Buck and Jacquie Fernandes both played significant minutes. But most of starters returned after the Bearcats cut what was a 29-point UConn lead to 16 with just over 8 minutes to play. Hayes, averaging over 11 points and four rebounds per game for the top-ranked Huskies, was injured when she and Cincinnati guard Ulis both crashed to the floor as Ulis drove to the basket. Hayes, who was called for a foul on the play, did not put any weight on the leg as she was taken off the court, but later limped to the training room. She returned to the bench later in the half but did not play. Elliott, who finished her playing career in 1996 with 1,387 points and 1,054 rebounds, received a standing ovation from the UConn crown the moment she walked on the court and again as she was introduced. She helped lead UConn to its first national championship in 1995 and was part of five other titles in her 12 years as an assistant to Geno Auriemma. She was hired in May to replace J. Kelley Hall as Cincinnati coach. The Bearcats finished at the bottom of the conference last season. UConn's winning streak is the third longest in NCAA women's history, behind the school's own record of 70 from 2001-03 and Louisiana Tech's 54 from 1980-82. The Huskies have now won 126 consecutive games over non-ranked opponents.

(AP)--Not even the nation's top teams have provided Connecticut with much of a challenge during its 54-game winning streak. The top-ranked Huskies have made a habit of raising their game to another level, turning supposed challenges into routs. Tina Charles scored all of her 25 points in the first half and grabbed 13 rebounds to help UConn demolish No. 7 North Carolina 88-47 on Saturday. 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 top 10 teams its faced, winning the nine games by an average of just over 27 points Tiffany Hayes had 15 points and three players recorded double doubles for UConn. Maya Moore had 12 points and 10 rebounds and Kalana Greene added 11 points and 10 boards for the defending national champions, who are 15-0 for the third consecutive season. She'la White scored nine to lead North Carolina (13-2), which had only lost to Michigan State before Saturday. Last season, the Tarheels lost 88-58 at home to UConn in a 1 vs 2 showdown that sent North Carolina into a tailspin. "I just told the players, 'Forget this game was ever played. Let's go home and get ready for the ACC," said UNC coach Sylvia Hatchell. " North Carolina ran with UConn early and jumped out to a 10-7 lead 3 1/2 minutes into the game. Then UConn took over. A basket by Moore forced UNC coach Sylvia Hatchell to call her first timeout 5 minutes later with UConn up 22-10. The bucket was part of a 23-0 UConn run that ended when North Carolina's White hit a 3-pointer that made it 30-13. By that time, Charles already had 17 points. She had outscored the entire North Carolina team 25-24 at halftime, hitting 11 of her 14 shots. She played just 9 minutes in the second half. That's the most points since Moore had 25 points at halftime of a game against Marquette during her freshman year. She finished that game with 31. UConn led 56-24 at the break. Midway through the second half it was 73-35. Moore has hit double figures in 90 of her 92 games at UConn. Connecticut has beaten four ranked teams this season, with wins earlier over Stanford, Florida State and Texas. The Huskies face No. 3 Notre Dame next Saturday. Carolina senior star Jessica Breland, who recently finished five months of chemotherapy treatments for Hodgkin's lymphoma, returned to practice this week and was on the bench Saturday. She's expected to redshirt this season. The Tar Heels, who normally shoot about 46 percent from the field, were held to just 22 percent, hitting only 17 of 76 shots, their worst shooting performance of the year. Their previous low was 36 percent against the Spartans. North Carolina and UConn have each won five games during their 10-game series, but UNC is 1-3 in Connecticut.

Tina Charles scored 23 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, leading the top-ranked Huskies to a 68-43 win over Marquette for their 55th straight victory Wednesday night to extend the second-longest winning streak in women's NCAA history. UConn also holds the longest women's winning streak with 70 games set in 2001-03. Kalana Greene scored 15 points and the Huskies (16-0, 4-0 Big East) passed Louisiana Tech's 54-game winning streak from 1980-82. "There's just, I hope, a culture that we have at Connecticut that we expect to win every game. It doesn't mean we're going to win every game, but we expect to win every game," an unusually reflective Auriemma said. "These kids wrote their names in the history book tonight, so I'm proud of them, I'm happy for them. It's something if we lose every game from here on in, nobody will ever be able to take it away from them." These Huskies extended the latest streak largely without Maya Moore, the reigning player of the year who had the lowest scoring game of her collegiate career. Moore scored four points on 2-of-10 shooting and picked up three fouls early before getting her fourth with 15:59 left. She also had seven rebounds. "She dominated the defensive end of the floor even though she wasn't scoring any points on the other end," Auriemma said. "For someone who is used to scoring big, that's a good thing to know that she can do that. And I talked to her about that after the game." The Huskies didn't have a field goal in the final 10 minutes against Marquette (11-6, 2-2) and Auriemma decided to take two shot clock violations in closing minutes instead of running the offense. "I just didn't want anybody to get hurt, so I figured that was the safest way," Auriemma said. Without Moore's offense, Greene and Charles more than made up for it as the Huskies started the season 16-0 for the third straight year. Connecticut might get a real test on Saturday when it hosts No. 3 Notre Dame, but the Huskies already have wins over top 10 teams Stanford (by 12) and North Carolina (by 41) and have won every game in the streak by double figures. "The last game we play at the end of the season, a lot of us are going to look back and say, 'This is what we did,"' Greene said. "But right now, we can't look too far in the future. The only thing we're looking forward to now is Notre Dame." Moore picked up her third foul with 11:44 left in the first half. It hardly mattered. The Huskies, using mostly their bench, went on a 15-0 run to make it 35-12, led 44-20 at halftime and by as many as 35 the rest of the way. "We saw (Moore) on the bench and it was like, 'All right, this is our opportunity,"' Marquette head coach Terri Mitchell said. "We were physical, but they have the horses, and they just have one after the other that is coming in and going after us." Marquette, which won the Women's NIT championship in 2008, got a career-high 16 points from Tatiyiana McMorris, but only led 2-0 because the Huskies forced 24 turnovers. Marquette's leading scorer, Angel Robinson, went scoreless, missing all 12 of her shots. Far away from home, the Huskies even had supporters in Marquette's student section. One fan held a poster with a heart drawn around "Geno" and Auriemma chuckled while talking to the students before tip. Once the game started, though, Connecticut's play was nothing to joke about for the 55th straight time. "(We) don't think about the winning streak. The only time we hear about it is when people bring it up," Greene said. "You can't get too caught up in that - because that's when things can crumble."

(AP)-- Connecticut got off to a near-perfect start, showing there is a chasm between it and the rest of women's basketball. Tina Charles scored 23 points and grabbed 13 rebounds to help the top-ranked Huskies rout No. 3 Notre Dame 70-46 on Saturday night for its 56th straight victory. UConn scored 24 of the game's first 28 points to take control, delivering an early knockout. "That first 15 minutes of basketball was pretty amazing," Connecticut coach Geno Auriemma said. "That was as good a 15 minutes of basketball you could hope to play on a day like today against a team like that." Maya Moore added 20 points for the Huskies, who have the second-longest winning streak in women's basketball history. They're 14 short of the NCAA and school record set from 2001-03. UConn (17-0, 5-0 Big East) has been at its best against top-10 teams during the streak, winning those 10 games by nearly 27 points a game. "The gap is huge," Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw said. "I think that they are on a mission to prove that gap is wider and wider with every game. They've had their way with the top 10. Even Stanford. They are the best team in the country, no question about it." Connecticut has won every game during its streak by double digits. Devereaux Peters scored 12 to lead the Irish (15-1, 2-1), who had been off to the second-best start in school history. Notre Dame started 23-0 en route to the 2001 national title. The Irish wore their alternate green road jerseys for a little extra luck, but they needed a lot more to beat UConn. Before the sellout crowd could settle into its seats, the Huskies were up 17-2 as four different players scored. "Once we threw the first couple of punches we sucked the life out of them and had control of the game," said Kalana Greene, who had 13 points for Connecticut. Ashley Barlow finally hit a jumper to end the 5-minute scoreless drought for the Irish, but it wasn't nearly enough to stop the onslaught. Charles scored the Huskies' next nine points on a dazzling array of post moves much to the delight of the Connecticut Sun coaching staff, which had a front-row view. Earlier this week, the Sun traded for the top pick in April's WNBA draft with Charles most likely the prize. By the time Notre Dame scored consecutive baskets for the first time with 2:53 left in the half, the Irish trailed 36-14. UConn led 42-19 at the break with Charles scoring 17 points. Notre Dame, which came into the game averaging 82.4 points, got no closer than 20 in the second half. The Irish shot only 27 percent (18 for 67) from the field for the game, including going 3 for 19 from behind the arc. "We actually shoot the ball fairly well," McGraw said. "Certainly 3 for 19 isn't where we should have been. Certainly their defense had everything to do with that." The Huskies and Irish were two of four unbeaten teams left in Division I basketball heading into Saturday. Wisconsin- Green Bay (16-0) won earlier in the day, while Nebraska (15-0) plays at Baylor on Sunday. Notre Dame has a history of ending notable winning streaks. The Irish stopped Oklahoma's 47-game winning streak in football in the 1950s, UCLA's 88-game winning streak in men's basketball in the 1970s and North Carolina's 92-game winning streak in women's soccer in the 1990s. ESPN brought its "College Gameday" show to Storrs, broadcasting at the site of a women's basketball game for the first time. More than 3,000 fans showed up Saturday morning to partake in the festivities, including the Huskies' players- -who were holding up signs in the stands with fellow students.

By the time her shooting flurry was through, topranked Connecticut was having an easy time with yet another top 10 challenger -- and there was nothing those noisy Cameron Crazies could say about it. Moore hit a season-high six 3-pointers, scored 14 of her 20 points in the second half and helped the Huskies claim their 57th straight victory by routing Duke (No. 7 ESPN/USA Today, No. 6 AP) 81-48 on Monday night. Kalana Greene added 18 points for the Huskies (18-0), who never trailed, shot 53.6 percent, hit 52 percent of their 3s and used a big run early in the second half to snap the Blue Devils' 23-game winning streak at Cameron Indoor Stadium in convincing fashion. For the Huskies, who improved to 3-0 at Cameron, the most significant development might have been the way they showed some long-range touch. They were ranked among the national leaders in nearly every meaningful offensive statistical category except those related to 3-point shooting, making just 32 percent of those shots. In this one, Moore missed all three shots she attempted inside the arc but made 6 of 9 shots behind it while helping the Huskies match a season high with 13 3s -- including five during the 23-9 burst shortly after halftime that put them well on their way to another blowout. Tiffany Hayes' 3-pointer 47 seconds into the second half started the overwhelming burst, made it 41-30 and pushed the lead into double figures to stay. She and Caroline Doty connected from long range before Moore capped the run by hitting two 3s 39 seconds apart to make it a 20-point lead. By then, Duke was well on its way to its first home nonconference loss since Tennessee won here in 2007-08, and the only question was whether the Blue Devils were headed for their worst loss at Cameron -- an honor held by Virginia, which beat them by 36 points in 1993. At least they can take solace in this: They kept it closer than archrival North Carolina, which lost to UConn two weeks ago by 41. Jasmine Thomas scored 17 points for Duke (15-3), the only team to play each of the top three in The Associated Press' preseason Top 25. The Blue Devils finished 1-2 against that gauntlet, beating then-no. 3 Ohio State before losing to Stanford and UConn by an average of 24.5 points. Charles had 10 points and 14 rebounds, and Hayes and Doty scored 13 points apiece for the Huskies, who extended the second-longest winning streak in women's basketball history. They trail only their own NCAA and school-record string of 70 straight set from 2001-03. UConn has been at its best against top 10 teams during the streak, winning its previous 10 matchups by an average of nearly 27 points. They won this one less than 48 hours after beating then-no. 3 Notre Dame by 24 points. "To be able to overcome all that stuff, that's probably partly the character of players that we recruit," Auriemma said. "Maybe that's what this team is supposed to do. They're supposed to prove themselves over and over and over again.... What we did Saturday and Monday, with very little turnaround... it was as good as I've felt in a long time." This one was business as usual from the opening tip. The Huskies got started in this one with 3-pointers 30 seconds apart from Hayes and Moore, then pushed their lead into double figures with an efficient 17-8 burst in which they came away with points on eight of 11 trips downcourt. After Doty floated a jumper over 6-foot-4 Krystal Thomas to make it 31-21 with less than 5 minutes left before halftime, the Blue Devils cut their deficit to single digits only once -- on Jasmine Thomas' steal and layup 18 seconds into the second half.

(AP) -- Maya Moore scored 24 points and grabbed eight rebounds to help the Huskies thump Villanova 74-35 on Saturday for its 58th straight double-digit victory. UConn's coach watched from the bench as his defense forced 17 turnovers and limited the Wildcats to a 23 percent shooting. Tina Charles scored 14 points for the Huskies, who have the second-longest winning streak in women's basketball history. They are 12 wins shy of the NCAA and school record in 2001-03. That streak was snapped at 70 by the Wildcats in the 2003 Big East championship game. Villanova followed up that win with another victory over the Huskies the next season. This one was no contest. The Huskies (19-0, 6-0 Big East) went old school and rode the train to Philadelphia, then stayed on track for a perfect season. UConn is 19-0 for the third straight season and is a lock to start next week ranked No. 1 in The Associated Press women's basketball poll for a record-tying 36th straight week. "We play not for the score, it's about how we play," Moore said. "Every minute you're out there on the court, you have the opportunity to make beautiful basketball. As long as we're out there executing making beautiful basketball, we're happy." Maria Getty led the overmatched Wildcats (11-7, 0-5) with 11 points. Villanova also was the 58th straight win for UConn in its record winning streak. The Wildcats actually led 1-0. And they only trailed 18-8. Then the UConn Express shifted into another gear and left Villanova just waiting for this game to end. UConn did it all deep into the first half except hit a 3-pointer. Caroline Doty kicked off the long-range party when her first 3 made it 33-8. The Moore hit one. Meghan Gardler followed with another to make it 39-8. Moore hit UConn's fourth 3 just before halftime for a 45-12 lead. Moore outscored Villanova by five points heading into the break. The brief 3-point spurt also gave the Huskies more 3s (4) than Villanova had total field goals (3). "I wasn't shocked we scored 11 at halfime," Wildcats coach Harry Perretta said. "We're just not a very good offensive team." Auriemma, from Norristown, Pa., had no reason to vent in yet another rout. Each of their 58 victories have come by double digits. Even the large pro-huskies faithful that came to the Pavilion were lulled into silence for most of this one. They did cheer for Gardler when the senior forward was introduced for the first start of her career. Gardler, the daughter of Auriemma's high school coach at nearby Bishop Kenrick, started over Tiffany Hayes. Gardler scored six points and was moved by the tribute. She said about 120 fans came to watch her final game in the area. They probably weren't the ones who told Gardler in high school she would never make it at UConn. "That's typical of this area. That's just growing up here," Auriemma said. "If you're not any good, they tell you you're no good. If you're really good, they tell you you're no good. It's just growing up in Philly." Nothing went right for the Wildcats. At one point, they broke UConn's fullcourt press and got the ball to Sarah Jones. Jones promptly took a step backward and was whistled for a backcourt violation. Kalana Greene, who scored 10 points, made the Wildcats pay with an uncontested layup for a 30-8 lead. Jones traveled on the next possession and got an earful from Perretta: "Just pass the ball to Shannon (Elliott)!" She could have passed the ball to Scottie Reynolds and it wouldn't have mattered. Of course, UConn capitalized on Doty's 3. "The kids did what I asked them to do," Perretta said. "It didn't show up on the scoreboard, obviously." The Wildcats shot under 20 percent for most of the game. Moore and Charles were a combined 16 for 24 from the field.

RUTGERS - 36 #1/1 CONNECTICUT - 73 HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - Maya Moore had 19 points and 10 rebounds to help top-ranked Connecticut win its 59th straight game with a 73-36 victory over Rutgers on Tuesday night. Kalana Greene added 17 points for UConn (20-0, 7-0 Big East), which has won every game during its streak by at least double digits. Even Rutgers, which has been the only real nuisance for UConn in the conference over the last few years, was no match. The Scarlet Knights were the last team to beat Connecticut during the regular season, topping the Huskies in New Jersey by two in 2008. On Tuesday, they could only stay close for 8 minutes before UConn used a 20-2 run to put the game away. Chelsey Lee scored 10 points to lead Rutgers (12-8, 4-2). UConn, which stands only 11 wins short of the NCAA and school record of 70 straight victories, has now beaten 129 straight unranked opponents. This is the first time in five years that the two teams aren't playing twice during the regular season. The Big East switched the matchups before the year so that Rutgers will play Syracuse twice and UConn will face Notre Dame two times. During that stretch the Scarlet Knights have been one of the only Big East teams to beat the Huskies. UConn has 70 straight conference wins against teams other than Rutgers, since losing to then-member Boston College on Feb. 26, 2005. The Huskies have gone 8-4 against the Scarlet Knights during that stretch. Rutgers did all it could to frustrate UConn on Tuesday night, trailing only 10-8 nearly 8 minutes into the game. UConn missed 12 of first 16 shots and seemed flummoxed on offense. But the Huskies, as they have during almost every game during this incredible run, got going offensively and took over. Tina Charles started the burst with a driving layup and Moore followed with another layup. She had nine points during the spurt. April Sykes scored the Scarlet Knights' only basket during the 8-minute run, but that only made it 19-10. Moore answered with a 3-pointer and Rutgers would get no closer the rest of the game. By the time the game reached the half, Connecticut led 40-15. It was the fourth straight conference game that the Huskies have held an opponent to 20 points or less in the first half. Rutgers didn't help itself shooting just 7 for 30 from the field for their lowest offensive output of the season. Without Lee and Sykes, Rutgers made just 1 of 18 shots. Leading scorer Brittany Ray, who averaged 16.6 points coming into the game, was held to just three on 1-for-11 shooting. The game was the first in conference history to feature two Hall of Fame coaches with C. Vivian Stringer getting inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame this past September.

2009-10 UCONN HUSKIES BASKETBALL GAME NOTES 32 1995, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2009 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS 4 10 FINAL FOURS 4 32 BIG EAST CHAMPIONSHIPS GAME #21 January 30, 2010 Petersen Events Center Pittsburgh, Pa. #1/1 CONNECTICUT - 98 PITTSBURGH - 56 PITTSBURGH, Pa. (AP) - The incredible numbers keep adding up for No. 1 Connecticut, yet the Huskies only have one single goal in mind -- raising the national championship trophy at the end of the season. Tina Charles scored 24 points to become the sixth Connecticut player to reach 2,000 points in her career and the topranked Huskies coasted to their 60th consecutive victory, beating overwhelmed Pittsburgh 98-56 on Saturday. "They all know what the goal is and what the final destination is," Connecticut coach Geno Auriemma said, referring to winning a seventh national title. "[There's] no streak talk, no numbers talk, no nothing. Let's get better." Maya Moore, part of the inside-outside combination with Charles that has made these Huskies (21-0, 8-0 in Big East) one of the best teams in UConn's wildly successful history, added 22 points in a game that -- as usual -- was decided after only a few minutes. Connecticut, now 10 victories away from matching its own NCAA women's record of 70 consecutive wins set in 2001-03, opened leads of 15-4 and 19-6 in the opening 5½ minutes. After Pitt got to within eight points at 21-13, the Huskies went on a 14-2 run that made it 35-15 and erased any doubt whether this would be another Huskies romp. No team has come within 10 points of UConn during its winning streak, and the Huskies' only relatively close game this season was an 80-68 decision over Stanford. The Huskies' average winning margin is 40 points. Pitt coach Agnus Berenato knows what she saw: One of the best women's teams in NCAA history. She predicted the Huskies might well break the UCLA men's national record of 88 consecutive victories, especially with Moore returning next season. "You're watching a dynasty," Berenato said. "They could break John Wooden's record of 88-0." Berenato confidently predicted before the game that her Panthers might pull off a Miracle on Ice-like upset -- "Watch the news headlines," she told a friend -- but also acknowledged, "I was worried we might not score double digits in the first half." Shay Scott scored 18 for Pittsburgh (12-8, 1-6), which lost for the sixth time in seven games and is in serious danger of not making the NCAA tournament -- especially with its next three games against Syracuse, Georgetown and Notre Dame. The Panthers have dropped 25 in a row to the Huskies, who are 21-0 for a third consecutive season. UConn is No. 1 in The Associated Press women's basketball poll for the 36th straight week, and is certain to surpass Louisiana Tech (1980-82) for the longest run atop the Top 25 when the next poll is released on Monday. "Just because the teams we're playing against aren't able to do what we do doesn't mean we're the best of all time, the history of basketball," Auriemma said. "We're flawed just like any team that's flawed, and we try to chip away at it [every day]." There wasn't much to dislike about a first half in which the Huskies shot 63.2 percent (24 of 38) while outscoring Pitt 57-32, but did so without rushing themselves. "I thought we did some things offensively that we haven't done all year," Auriemma said. "We weren't in a hurry. A lot of games this year we were trying to score so quickly that a lot of the stuff we do doesn't look good.... You're not going to be able to run up and down and shoot layups against every team you play." Charles, a 6-foot-4 senior from Jamaica, N.Y., scored 18 points in the first half, one more than she needed to become the first Huskies player to go over the 2,000-point mark since All-American Diana Taurasi in 2004. She reached 2,000 by scoring inside with five minutes left before halftime. Kalana Greene scored 18 points as the Huskies finished up shooting 55.6 percent (35 of 63) to Pitt's 37.9 percent (22 of 58). The Huskies held a 43-26 rebounding edge as Charles, who missed only three of 13 shots, had nine rebounds.

(AP) - Kalana Greene scored 18 points to help top-ranked Connecticut overcome a sluggish first half and beat No. 11 West Virginia 80-47 on Tuesday night for its 61st straight victory. Maya Moore added 15 points and a season-high 14 rebounds for UConn (22-0, 9-0 Big East), which is only nine wins short of the NCAA and school record of 70 straight wins. The Huskies are on pace to equal that mark in the quarterfinals of the Big East tournament and break it in the semis. UConn only led by eight at the half, but used a 24-3 run during the first part of the second half to put the game away. Sarah Miles scored 14 points and Liz Repella added 13 for West Virginia (20-3, 7-2), which matched its highest ranking ever this week. The Mountaineers have only beaten Connecticut once in 22 tries and that came back in 1982 before Geno Auriemma was at the helm of the Huskies. UConn had been dominating conference play winning by an average of nearly 39 points a game with virtually every Big East game decided at the half. South Florida had been the only team to stay within 20 of the Huskies in the first half, and that was a 14-point deficit. West Virginia did its best to stay with the top-ranked team. The Mountaineers slowed the game down, walking the ball up the court and taking time off the shot clock and found themselves only down 32-24 at the break. It was UConn's lowest-scoring first half of the season and just the third time that it didn't have a double-digit lead by the half. The Huskies seemed out of sorts on offense. They made terrific backdoor cuts for wide open layups, but missed them. They also turned the ball over an uncharacteristic 10 times. Even when UConn built a 28-15 lead midway through the period, West Virginia didn't get rattled, scoring the next seven points to stay in the game. That all changed in the second half as Greene, Moore, and Tina Charles took over. Leading 36-29 after Miles' layup with 17:08 left in the game, UConn scored 24 of the next 27 points, including seven straight by Charles. Greene also had six points during the spurt with a three-point play and a 3-pointer. Freshman Kelly Faris capped it off with a basket that made it 60-32 midway through the period. Auriemma shook up his lineup in the second half, starting Faris in place of Caroline Doty. The freshman provided a huge spark scoring nine points. The victory came a night after Connecticut extended its streak at No. 1 in The Associated Press women's basketball poll to a record 37th straight week, surpassing Louisiana Tech (1980-82) for the longest run atop the Top 25. The Huskies, who started their current streak at No. 1 in the poll on Feb. 18, 2008, next play at Louisville on Sunday in a rematch of last season's national championship game. While the Huskies have continued their dominance, the Cardinals have struggled this season. Connecticut honored Charles before the game as Auriemma gave her a ball to commemorate the senior becoming the sixth Huskies player to reach 2,000 points. She did it against Pittsburgh on Saturday. Charles, who finished with 14 points and six blocks on Tuesday night, gave her coach a hug and then threw the ball to her mom in the stands.

2009-10 UCONN HUSKIES BASKETBALL GAME NOTES 33 1995, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2009 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS 4 10 FINAL FOURS 4 32 BIG EAST CHAMPIONSHIPS GAME #23 February 7, 2010 Freedom Hall Louisville, Ky. #1/1 CONNECTICUT -84 LOUISVILLE - 38 GAME #24 February 10, 2010 McGrath Arena Chicago, Ill. #1/1 CONNECTICUT - 95 DEPAUL - 62 LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- Connecticut quickly turned a rematch of last season's national championship game into a total mismatch. The top-ranked Huskies (23-0, 10-0 Big East) were barely tested by the final team they faced on last year's championship run, using lethal 3-point shooting and an exhausting defense to breeze past short-handed Louisville 84-38 on Sunday. "If teams are playing against us, you'd better hope we miss shots," UConn coach Geno Auriemma said. "When we hit shots like we did today from the perimeter, we're tough to play against." Such was the predicament Louisville (11-12, 3-7) found itself in from the opening minutes until the end as UConn extended its winning streak to 62 straight, the second-best in women's Division I history behind only the 70-game streak by the 2001-03 Huskies. What's more, the games haven't been close. All 62 have been decided by double digits, the last six by at least 30 and 11 games this year -- Sunday's included -- the margin was 40 or more. UConn blew out Louisville 76-54 in the title game in April. Other than their game against No. 2 Stanford on Dec. 23, the Huskies have trailed fewer than four minutes total over that stretch. Tina Charles again led the way with 20 points and nine rebounds. Charles, the Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four when UConn won its sixth national championship against Louisville last spring, has scored in double figures 14 straight games, breaking her personal best set last year. Afterward, it was the Huskies' defensive performance that most pleased Charles and her teammates. "We definitely take pride in our defense," Charles said. "Rotation, hedging, just talking out there, communicating. Being in the right spots." Or, in the eyes of the Louisville's coach, being in all spots. "They guard you without fouling," said Jeff Waltz. "They don't reach. They don't slap. If you put the ball in front of them, they take it from you." The Huskies never trailed and put away the Cardinals early with two extended scoring runs that lasted most of the first half and early into the second. UConn was especially good from beyond the arc, hitting more first-half 3-pointers (8) than Louisville had field goals (7). The Huskies finished with 11. "We came out and fought hard," said Asia Taylor, whose 7 points trailed only Keshia Hines' 9 for the Cardinals. "It's just their defense, it's crazy. It's where we want ours to be." Maya Moore added 16 points and Caroline Doty had 11 for the Huskies. Louisville trailed 11-9 a few minutes in after a three-point play by Taylor, but that's when UConn went on its first scoring barrage. The 22-2 run was highlighted by a dazzling steal and fastbreak layup by Moore. After Hines stopped the momentum by scoring the game's next five points, UConn closed the first half and began the second on a 29-2 run. Louisville didn't score for 8 minutes, until freshman walk-on Shelby Harper hit a 3 to make it 61-21 with 16 minutes left in the game. Connecticut led 54-18 at halftime, the 10th time scoring 50 or more in a half this season. UConn won the rebounding battle 47-37, but the team leader was surprisingly not Charles, but rather, 5-foot-4 guard Lorin Dixon, who had a career-high 10. "Tina gets rebounds all the time, every game," Dixon said. "I just decided to crash the boards today and try to help out close range and down low."

(AP) -- Geno Auriemma insists Connecticut's latest winning streak is only part of what the talented Huskies are trying to accomplish. "We didn't come out to play the streak or anything else. My kids have been loose, having fun and enjoying themselves. I don't think they concerned themselves with the streak," Auriemma said Wednesday night after the top-ranked Huskies routed DePaul 95-62 for their 63rd straight victory. "I've already been down this road," said Auriemma, whose teams from 2001-2003 won 70 straight. "I try not to get involved in any of that stuff. I'm actually waiting for the loss. I told the team I don't care if we have one loss or 10 losses as long as it's not the last game of the year. Tiffany Hayes and Tina Charles scored 19 points apiece in a balanced scoring attack and UConn's defense forced 25 turnovers. The Huskies (24-0, 11-0 Big East) used a late spurt to build a 20-point halftime lead and then went on an 11-1 run to open the second. All of Connecticut's wins during its streak have been by double digits. Hayes hit a long 3-pointer at the first half buzzer and then started the second half with another 3. And when Charles scored six straight points, the Huskies opened up a 30-point cushion early in the second half. They led by as many as 38 in the second half. Maya Moore added 14 points for UConn. "You can't give this team opportunities," DePaul coach Doug Bruno said. "I thought we kept them relatively UConn runfree in the first half and we're still chasing 17. You don't want the disaster of that '3' going down to give them a 20-point lead." DePaul (16-9, 5-6) hung tough for most of the first half, but didn't have the talent to stay with the Huskies and was hurt by 25 turnovers -- 14 in the opening half. Sam Quigley led the Blue Demons with 15 points. Connecticut had an early 12-0 run but couldn't deliver a knockout punch against the hustling Blue Demons until the final minute of the opening half. DePaul was still within nine when Keisha Hampton sank a jumper with 4:44 left. But in the final 1:11, Hayes drove for a basket, Moore hit a 3-pointer from the top of the key and then Hayes delivered a crusher to DePaul. She launched a 25-footer that swished through the basket as the buzzer sounded, giving the Huskies a 52-32 halftime lead. "I didn't know how much time. I heard a couple of my teammate screaming at me to shoot the ball, shoot the ball," Hayes said. "I looked at the clock and thought it was running out. I just set my feet and shot a ball and it went in." And with it pretty much went DePaul's chances of playing a closer game. "Instead of driving it in for a layup she has to throw it in," Auriemma said. "One of those days." Hayes had 16 first-half points, shooting 6 for 8. She finished 7 for 10.

JOHN S - 52 #1/1 CONNECTICUT - 66 STORRS, Conn. - Tina Charles had tears in her eyes as her name was placed on the wall at Gampel Pavilion, then scored 25 points and grabbed a career-high 21 rebounds to lead top-ranked Connecticut over No. 25 St. John's 66-52 on Saturday. It was the 64th consecutive win for UConn (25-0 overall, 12-0 Big East), and 19th in a row over teams ranked in the Top 25. The Huskies are six victories short of matching their NCAA and school record of 70 straight set between 2001 and 2003. Nadirah McKenith had 15 points and 10 rebounds to lead St. John's (20-5, 8-4), which lost for the just the second time in nine games. The Red Storm have dropped the last 26 meetings with the Huskies. Charles is the 15th women's player to have her name added to the Huskies of Honor list, and just the second to receive the honor during her playing career. St. John's stayed with the Huskies for most of the first half. UConn hit just one of its first nine shots and trailed 13-11 almost 6 minutes into the game. A 9-0 UConn run gave them the lead for good, but the Red Storm stayed close by collapsing on Charles and double-teaming Moore whenever she touched the ball. The Huskies shot just 32 percent in the first half and starters Kalana Greene, Caroline Doty and Tiffany Hayes were a combined 1 for 16 from the field. St. John's led the game for 2:43, the most the Huskies have trailed since being down for over 16 minutes to No. 2 Stanford. Lorin Dixon's shot at the halftime buzzer gave the Huskies a 34-26 lead, UConn's lowest output in any first half this season. Charles, playing her final game at Gampel, scored eight points as UConn opened the second half on a 10-2 run to put the game out of reach. The Huskies stretched the lead to 20 with 8 minutes to go and led by as many as 23. Charles 21 rebounds leaves her with 1,226, just 42 behind Rebecca Lobo for the most in the program's history. It was the first 20-rebound game for a UConn player since Swin Cash had 20 against West Virginia in 2001. The 14-point loss for St. John's came on the heels of a 35-point win over Louisville on Wednesday, a victory that gave the Red Storm 20 wins for the third time in Kim Barnes Arico's eight-years as head coach at the school. It was the second fastest that St. John's has achieved the 20-win plateau with the only quicker time coming back in 1982-83. The Red Storm, who were picked 12th in the preseason conference poll, have garnered national attention earning a spot in the Top 25 the past two weeks. It's only the fourth time in school history that St. John's has been ranked.
