(AP) -- Maya Moore scored 23 points and helped
Connecticut rally from a horrible first half to beat
Stanford 53-47 for its second straight undefeated championship
season.
Held to only five points through the first 12 minutes and
trailing 20-12 at the break, coach Geno Auriemma's Huskies bounced
back and played like champs to claim their seventh national title.
UConn (39-0) won its 78th straight, extending its women's NCAA
record for consecutive victories, although this one was the
closest. All of the Huskies' previous wins in the streak were by
double digits.
