Happy Thursday Nova Nation! The Villanova Women’s team just pulled off a massive upset, beating UConn on their home court 72-69. This was UConn’s first Big East loss since rejoining the league.
Villanova has a history of ending UConn winning streaks. In 2003, Villanova knocked off then undefeated UConn in the Big East Tournament, ending their 70 game win streak.
For Villanova, this was an important win for many reasons. First, it keeps them in the hunt for a Big East title now just two games back of UConn in the loss column and tied with DePaul and Marquette.
