UConn women's basketball completed a perfect 31-0 regular season on Sunday night, as the top-ranked Huskies dominated St. John's 85-49 at Madison Square Garden to cap their undefeated 2025/26 NCAA campaign.
UConn notably notched its 11th undefeated regular season in program history, riding a 47-game winning streak. Their run is tied the fifth-longest in DI history, while the team also owns five of women's basketball's all-time Top 6 winning streaks.
"When you are fortunate enough to go through 31 games and win them all, there is something to be proud of," legendary coach Geno Auriemma said.
On Sunday, the Huskies played in front of 9,612 fans, shooting 57% from the field while forcing 22 turnovers. UConn also outscored St. John's 24-9 in the first quarter, with six players putting up at least nine points in the balanced effort.
UConn last lost on February 6th, 2025, when the team fell to Tennessee amid injury woes. However, the Huskies went on to post a +37.8 scoring margin this season — the third-highest in DI history.
National player of the year candidate Sarah Strong praised her team's accomplishment in her postgame remarks.
"Coach came in and said he was proud of us," she said. "We also have a lot to work on to get ready for the Big East tournament."
The Huskies have been named the No. 1 overall seed in both early NCAA tournament bracket reveals. However, Auriemma acknowledged the postseason brings different challenges, after UConn won the 2025 NCAA championship despite three regular-season losses.
The program's previous two undefeated teams fell in the 2017 and 2018 Final Fours.
