UConn's Record in Top 5 Appearances in AP Women's Basketball Poll Ends

UConn's record streak of top five appearances in The Associated Press women's basketball poll is over.

That historic stretch dated back to Feb. 5, 2007. The longest current streak is now held by No. 1 South Carolina at 11. The Gamecocks had a hand in ending the Huskies' run by routing UConn last Monday night.
