Last night the UConn Women basketball team's winning streak — 90 games and two years running — was broken by Stanford University's team. The final score was 71-59. For UConn fans it's a shame, while others might be relieved to see the Northeast power house finally defeated. We're joined by Takeaway listener Helen Wheelock, a die-hard UConn fan, for her reaction. 

The University of Connecticut women's basketball team won their 89th straight game last night, surpassing John Wooden's UCLA men's team, who won 88 games in a row from 1971-1974. Connecticut's Huskies beat Florida State 93-62; Maya Moore led the team with a career-high 41 points and 10 rebounds.

The Huskies, the University of Connecticut's women's basketball team, tied UCLA's men's basketball record of 88 consecutive wins on Sunday when they defeated Ohio State at Madison Square Garden. Helen Wheelock is a huge Huskies fan; she was at Sunday's game and can't wait for them to go for number 89, and sole possession of the record, tonight against Florida State.
