Overview
- Caroline Peper led NYU with 27 points, hitting a late three-pointer, as Brooke Batchelor and Zahra Alexander delivered pivotal second-half plays in the 69-58 victory.
- The win pushed the streak to 82 games, surpassing Washington University in St. Louis’ 81-game run from 1998 to 2001, and improved NYU to 20-0 this season.
- NYU took a 32-29 halftime edge on a Batchelor three-pointer, then opened the third quarter with a 17-6 surge sparked by Peper and Batchelor to build a double-digit lead.
- Carnegie Mellon had pulled within 56-51 in the fourth quarter before Alexander scored seven in the period to help close it out, one week after NYU edged the Tartans by a single point.
- Only three other opponents have stayed within single digits during the streak—UChicago by six, Whittier by eight, and Case Western Reserve by eight—while UConn’s 111- and 90-game runs remain the overall NCAA benchmarks.
