Women's Basketball Scoreboard (Jan. 3)
UIC 98, Roosevelt 68
The UIC women's basketball team (11-2) won its 11th consecutive game Friday (Jan. 3) with a 98-68 home victory over Roosevelt (12-5) at the UIC Pavilion. Ruvanna Campbell (23 points and 13 rebounds) led the Flames to their third straight win over the Lakers, who are ranked No. 11 in the NAIA Division II rankings.
The Flames' 11-2 record is the best 13-game start in program history. The victory also ties the longest win streak in program history, which occurred from Jan. 11-Feb. 24, 2007.
The win streak ranks as the fourth longest in the nation. It only trails eight programs (No. 1 UConn, No. 2 Notre Dame, No. 11 Oklahoma State, No. 14 Iowa State, Indiana, San Diego, West Virginia and VCU). It is also the longest win streak of Regina Miller’s head coaching career.
Seven of the 11 wins have been at road or neutral sites. Additionally, four of the 11 victories have been over 2012-13 WNIT participants (Idaho State, Miami Ohio, Texas Southern and Butler).
