Jan. 13, 2010
MILWAUKEE (AP) -Tina Charles scored 23 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, leading No. 1 Connecticut to a 68-43 win over Marquette for its 55th straight victory on Wednesday night to extend the second-longest winning streak in NCAA history.
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. They trail only the school-record 70-game streak set by the Huskies in 2001-03.
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.
