Perkins’ Cierra Bravard and the No. 20 Florida State women’s basketball team fell to No. 1 Connecticut, 93-62, on Tuesday night, giving the Huskies’ (11-0) college basketball record-setting 89th consecutive victory.

Bravard led Florida State with 19 points, while also pulling down six rebounds.

Down 54-27 at halftime, the Seminoles never gave up were outscored by just four in the second period despite the growing excitement of a home crowd watching its team approach an improbable milestone.

While FSU battled as hard as possible, in the end there was just too much Maya Moore to handle. UConn’s star came out firing and never stopped. She finished the night with a career-high 41 points.
