UConn Women Huskies Defeat Syracuse In Fourth Straight National Title

Breanna Stewart, Moriah Jefferson and Morgan Tuck became the only players in NCAA college basketball history, men or women, to win four titles. The championship also marked the 11th overall for UConn coach Geno Auriemma.

The Women Huskies capped their season at 38-0, the sixth undefeated season in program history, and extended its winning streak to 75 games.
