Career Night from Williams Leads No. 1 UConn to 100th Straight Victory

Follow @American_WBB

STORRS, Conn. -- Gabby Williams scored a career-high 26 points and Napheesa Collier added 18 to help top-ranked UConn to its 100th consecutive victory with a 66-55 win over No. 6 South Carolina on Monday night.

Coach Geno Auriemma never thought his team would come close to reaching the century mark, let alone break the previous NCAA record set by the Huskies from 2008 to 2010. The Hall of Fame coach set up the most difficult nonconference schedule in the country, playing five of the top eight teams in the AP women's basketball poll before Monday.
