Connecticut Huskies guard Maya Moore turned in one of the biggest games of her career in one of the biggest games in women’s basketball history. Hitting 15 of her 24 shots from the field plus 10 of 11 free throws, Moore outscored the Florida St. Seminoles two highest scorers combined, finishing with 41.

After the game, UConn players received shirts bearing “89 and Counting.” Huskies coach Geno Auriemma addressed the crowd, saying, “I’m not John Wooden, and this isn’t UCLA. This is Connecticut, and that’s good enough.” He also gave out fabulous prizes to lucky fans.
UConn’s Bria Hartley and Tiffany Hayes scored 21 and 14 respectively, with FSU’s Cierra Bravard and Alexa Deluzio posting 19 and 16. The Huskies dominated the game from start to finish and across the board, as they have in 87 of the 89 games in their win streak.
