Ziebell leads UConn to 50th consecutive Big East regular-season victory, beating Xavier 97-39

On Wednesday at Gampel Pavilion, UConn defeated Xavier 97-43 as Allie Ziebell scored a career-high 34 points off the bench.
UConn, missing six players including Serah Williams and Blanca Quinonez, trailed for 2:53 as they adjusted to a new rotation that relied on Ziebell off the bench.
Ziebell's second-quarter burst flipped the game as she hit four 3-pointers while UConn improved to 71.4% from deep; Sarah Strong scored 19 of her 25 points and Ashlynn Shade added 12 with nine steals.
The victory gave UConn Huskies its 50th straight Big East regular-season win, tied for the 12th-longest streak in Division I women's basketball, improving to 22-0 overall and extending their 38-game winning streak.
Tying the program record, Allie Ziebell joined Maya Moore, Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis and Katie Lou Samuelson with 10 3-pointers, while Geno Auriemma said, `The number isn't as impressive to me as watching her play with so much confidence`; UConn faces Tennessee Sunday at PeoplesBank Arena.
