PALO ALTO, Calif. -- The streak stops at 90.
Connecticut women's basketball still owns the Division I record for the longest win streak. But the Huskies will have to start a new one now.
Stanford -- the last team to beat Connecticut back in the 2008 Final Four -- took a quick lead on its home floor and, this time, the Cardinal held on to the end.
The ninth-ranked Cardinal pulled off a 71-59 win over UConn in front of a sold-out crowd of 7,329 at Maples Pavilion Thursday night.
Connecticut (12-1) lost its first game since April 6, 2008, to a Stanford team that was experienced, motivated and well-prepared for this matchup, the sixth between the two programs since December 2007.
"The streak was for them and what they did. We're about Stanford and what we want to do," said Cardinal coach Tara VanDerveer. "We didn't play a perfect game, but I thought we played very well."
