UConn Women Run Streak To 53; Hayes Hurt
STORRS (The Hartford Courant) — Maya Moore scored 25 points, 15 in the first half, and Tina Charles added 17 points on 8 of 9 shooting to lead No. 1 UConn to an 83-51 victory over Cincinnati before 7,530 Thursday night at Gampel Pavilion.
UConn (14-0, 3-0 Big East) extended its winning streak to 53, one shy of Louisiana Tech's 54-game run -- the second longest in NCAA Division I women's basketball history.
UConn's next game is against No. 7 North Carolina Saturday at Gampel.
The win was tempered by a sprained left foot sustained by sophomore guard Tiffany Hayes. Hayes fell to the court in a collision in the lane with Shareese Ulis with 17:30 to play in the first half.
