CONNECTICUT WOMEN WIN THEIR FOURTH TITLE IN A ROW
If there is one thing about last night, IT SUCKED HELL! The game was as boring as the Huskies kicked the Syracuse Orange for their fourth title in a row. However, it is the first time in NCAA history that any team men or women has won four in a row. If you want to know the final score, I think it is best to forget it.
