INDIANAPOLIS — Breanna Stewart came to UConn with the lofty goal of winning four national championships and the Huskies are now just one victory away from history.

They will play former Big East foe Syracuse tonight with a chance to become the first women’s team to win four straight Division I titles. Only UCLA, with seven in a row from 1967-73, has done it on the men’s side, and a UConn victory would give coach Geno Auriemma 11 national championships — one more than Bruins coach John Wooden for the most ever in the history of college basketball.

While Stewart didn’t guarantee four titles when she was a freshman, she did promise a victory against Syracuse.

“I’m not going to go and say that we’re going to lose,” Stewart said after the Huskies beat Oregon State in the Final Four. “To end my college career, to end it with the other seniors, there is no other way that I want that to happen.”

Syracuse coach Quentin Hillsman wasn’t planning on using the comments as extra motivation for his team.

“I don’t think she knew who she was playing yet,” he said, laughing. “So what is she supposed to say? I told our fans and our crowd that we’re going to win, too.”

Stewart and her fellow UConn seniors have won 74 straight games and have never lost in the NCAA Tournament, going 23-0. To win the title, Stewart and the Huskies will have to beat her hometown team.

“It definitely feels like it’s coming full circle,” Stewart said. “From my freshman year, when we played in the Big East, we played against Syracuse.”
