    PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP) -- Connecticut has lost, finally.

    The longest winning streak in women's Division I history ended at 70 games Tuesday night. No. 18 Villanova handed No. 1 Connecticut its first loss since the end of the 2001 season, 52-48 for the championship of the Big East Conference tournament.

    Trish Juhline scored 16 points and Nicole Druckenmiller scored 11 in a remarkable 17-2 spurt that knocked Connecticut (31-1) from the unbeaten ranks on the eve of the NCAA tournament.

    The loss also ended Connecticut's bid to tie UCLA's record 88-game winning streak set from 1971-74.

    What a streak. I am not a big womans b-ball fan but uconn is an exciting team to see play. I wouldnt be surprised if they win another 70 row what of the better programs in all of sports. Oh well they still win the tourney probaly with no trouble

    A wake up call right before the tournament is probably good for them.
