Roundup: UConn Women Coast to 40th Straight Win

Breanna Stewart scored 25 points and grabbed 10 rebounds to lead top-ranked Connecticut to its 40th consecutive win, 88-46, over visiting Nebraska on Saturday.

Stewart hit her first nine shots from the floor and finished 10 of 11, with three 3-pointers.

Nebraska (4-1) had not given up more than 47 points in any of its first four games, but the Huskies (3-0) shot 58 percent against a Cornhuskers defense that had held each previous opponent to under 30 percent.

Nebraska hung with UConn through the first quarter, leading by as many as 4 points early. But UConn took a 19-14 lead at the end of the quarter after a 3-pointer by Stewart, who had 18 points by halftime.
