The longest winning streak in women's Division I history ended at 70 games Tuesday night. Villanova (No. 14 ESPN/USA Today; No. 18 Associated Press) handed No. 1 Connecticut its first loss since the end of the 2001 season, 52-48 for the championship of the Big East Conference tournament.

Trish Juhline scored 18 points and Nicole Druckenmiller scored 11 in a remarkable 17-2 spurt that knocked Connecticut (31-1) from the unbeaten ranks on the eve of the NCAA tournament.

The defeat also ended Connecticut's bid to tie UCLA's record 88-game winning streak set from 1971-74.
