HARTFORD, Conn. — Tina Charles turned Connecticut’s senior day celebration into a personal showcase, leading the Huskies to their 68th consecutive women’s basketball win and the Big East regular-season conference title.

Charles, a senior center, scored a season-high 33 points and grabbed 15 rebounds as UConn (29-0, 15-0) beat No. 13 Georgetown 84-62 on Saturday.

The Huskies can tie their own record for the longest winning streak in women’s Division I basketball with wins Monday at No. 7 Notre Dame and next Sunday in the Big East tournament.

”Coach always says we’re playing to make history,” Charles said. ”But in the back of our minds, we know what our goals are, and that’s to win every championship thrown our way.”
