They outscored opponents by just about 30 points per game this regular season. Two-thirds of their wins came against teams with at least 20 wins, and several were against teams with 27 or 28 wins.

It’s been a continuation of dominance for a team that’s gone 91-4 over the last three seasons and is in the midst of a 41-game win streak, according to WNCT.
Sarah Strong averaged 21 points, 16.7 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 2.8 steals and 1.8 blocks per game this year, according to the outlet. She’s looking to lead her team to consecutive wins No. 42, 43 and 44 before graduating and deciding on a collegiate program.
