There is no team right now in major U.S. sports quite like the women's basketball team at the University of Connecticut (UConn).

Tuesday night they won their third straight National Championship and the 10th of Geno Auriemma's career coaching the Huskies. In those three seasons, Auriemma's squad has a combined record of 113-5, including an undefeated season last year.

The Huskies also set a new all-time mark for margin of victory this season, a record they would have set if they lost catastrophically. The now-second-best scoring margin is now the 2002 UConn women.

The national championship victory also tied Auriemma for the most titles by a Division I basketball with UCLA's John Wooden, who coached the school's men's team, the Associated Press reported.

"Obviously, it's a very significant number because that's the number that's been out there and people want to talk about it. I'll be the first to say I'm not John Wooden, and I got a bunch of friends who'd tell you I'm right, I'm not," Auriemma said in his postgame press conference. "As I said the other day, I just think what we've done here in the last 20 years is pretty remarkable in its own right.

"I'll let the people who write the history decide where I fit in."

A women's basketball powerhouse in their own right, Notre Dame held UConn to 31 points in the first half, which was about 16 points below what the Huskies typically go into halftime with.

In the second half, Notre Dame was able to keep pace with UConn but could not suppress the eventual champions enough to pull ahead. Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis and Moriah Jefferson led the Huskies with 15 points apiece, combining to shoot 12-27 from the field and 5-15 from beyond the three-point arc.

UConn has never gone to a National Title game and lost, but it was Notre Dame that knocked them out in back-to-back Final Four appearances in the 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 seasons. But in UConn's three-peat, Notre Dame has finished the runner-up the last two seasons.
