Those Fabulous Lady Huskies of UConn take Title number 9

Over three years ago, I blogged about the Lady Husky basketball team, under coach Gene Auriemma, shattering the record at 89 straight wins.

Well, today, Husky fans have all kinds of reasons to celebrate.

UConn fans celebrate on campus after the victory.

Last night, the ladies team (39-0) decisively defeated the Notre Dame (37-0) squad 79-58.

The game was never in doubt as Connecticut took command from the very start and held on tightly.

Here are some amazing stats:

This is their record ninth title since 1994.

This is their fifth undefeated season in the school history.

This is their first 40-0 season in the school history and represents  the second 40-0 record in NCAA history. Baylor was the first to do so in 2012.

The last time both men's and women's teams both catapulted to same year NCAA championships was in 2004.

There will be a victory lap at Storrs, Ct. this afternoon.

Kudos to Stephanie Dolson, Tina Charles, Kiah Stokes, Moriah Jefferson and above all Gene Auriemma
