The Real Sports Dynasty
by Cody Clark ~ March 11th, 2010.72 straight wins. 16 Big East Titles. 6 National titles. Four 33+ win undefeated seasons. These numbers tell the story of the domination of the University of Connecticut Women’s basketball team. On March 9th, 2010 the UConn women broke their own consecutive wins record, beating West Virginia 60-32 for their 72nd game in a row (and counting), breaking the 70 win record they set from 2001-2003 by two games. An unlikely source stepped up to help the Huskies keep their streak going. Senior Kalana Greene scored 15 points on 7/8 shooting and pulled down 12 rebounds in a superb effort, while the usual stars struggled a bit going a combined 9-31 from the floor for only 22 combined points. On this current streak that they are on, UConn has outscored opponents by an average of 32.5 points, and have outscored ranked opponents by 25.5 points per game. They also have a per game points output of 83.1 points, which is more than many of the NCAA Division I Men’s teams. Over the past nine seasons, the Huskies have gone 301-24 with two undefeated seasons good for an average of 33 wins and 3 losses per season. This great success has put them in the discussion of one of the most elite college sports dynasties of all time, and below I have ranked my Top 5 college sports dynasties.
My Top 5 College Sports Dynasties
1. UCLA Bruins Men’s Basketball- 1964-1975- 10 National Championships in 12 years including 7 of those consecutive
2. North Carolina Women’s soccer team- 1979-1999- 15 National Championships in 20 years and a 442-17-11 record during that span
3. Connecticut Huskies Women’s Basketball- 2001-02-2009-10- 4 National Championships and two 70+ game win streaks
4. Notre Dame Football- 1946-1949- 36-0-2 with 3 National Titles and boasted two Heisman Winners (Johnny Lujack, in 1947 and Leon Hart, in 1949).
5. Oklahoma Sooners- 1953-1958- 2 National Titles and 3 straight undefeated seasons with a total record of 60-3-1

I am not going to disparage the Connecticut women, they are a great team, but here are five dynasties, three current, that deserve the same respect.
1. Penn State volleyball, three straight national championships, 102 straight wins.
2. Trinity squash, eleven straight national championships.
3. Northwestern Women’s lacrosse, five straight national championships, six losses in five years.
4. Iowa wrestling
5. Oklahoma State wrestling.
