UConn unanimous in final poll

Mon 15th, March 2010

New York, NY (Sports Network) - Connecticut finished as a unanimous selection as the top women's college basketball team in the final Associated Press poll.

The Huskies (33-0), winners of an NCAA Division I women's record 72 straight games, went wire-to-wire as the top-ranked team for the second consecutive season. UConn received all 40 first-place votes and 1,000 points from a nationwide media panel.

Connecticut has been No. 1 for a record 43 consecutive weeks, 35 straight as a unanimous choice.

Stanford, with its lone loss to Connecticut, kept its hold of the No. 2 spot and was followed by Tennessee, Nebraska and Xavier. Nebraska and Tennessee swapped places after the Huskers lost for the first time this season in the semifinals of the Big 12 Tournament on Saturday.

Duke, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Texas A&M and West Virginia completed the final top 10. Texas A&M, which moved up two places, handed Nebraska an 80-70 defeat on Saturday, then went on to capture the Big 12 title on Sunday with a 74-67 win over Oklahoma.

The second 10 consisted of Florida State, Oklahoma, Georgetown, Baylor, St. John's, Iowa State, Texas, Gonzaga, Kentucky and Oklahoma State, while LSU, UCLA, Georgia, Michigan State and Hartford were the final five teams ranked.
