In Mississippi college athletic history is our women's win streak the longest? Exluding juco
Nope. That would be Delta State and 51 games under legendary Margaret Wade.
Wade played on the basketball team for Delta State, but the school dropped the sport when she was 19. The school claimed the sport was "too strenuous for young ladies". Wade responded, "We cried and burned out uniforms but there was nothing else we could do." Basketball was revived in 1973, and Wade was asked to coach the team.
She coached the women's basketball team to three consecutive AIWA national championships and a 93–4 record, including a 51-game winning streak, at the time, the longest winning streak in women's college basketball.[SUP] [/SUP]Wade was elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1985. Today, the Division I women's basketball player of the year receives the
Margaret Wade Trophy.
