Connecticut continues dominance, sets NCAA road win streak in defeat of Owls

Temple outscored Connecticut by six in the second half, but it was not enough to dig the Owls out of the 34-point deficit they faced after the first 20 minutes against the top team in Division I.

Connecticut beat Temple (16-5, 6-2 American Athletic Conference) 97-69 on Wednesday at the Liacouras Center to win its 96th consecutive game and break its own NCAA record by winning its 35th consecutive road game.

The Huskies shot 76.9 percent from the floor to score 52 points in the first half. Sophomore guard and forward Katie Lou Samuelson scored 16 of her 24 points in the first half.
