Associated Press  

The AP Top 25 women’s college basketball poll is back every week throughout the season! NEW YORK — The NYU women’s basketball team is on a run few teams have ever seen. 1 ranked Violets have won 49 consecutive games, dating to last season’s undefeated NCAA Division III national championship season, to tie for the 16th longest run in NCAA women’s basketball history for any division. “I was like, you’ve got to be kidding me, if there’s one job that I would forego law school that was it,” Barber said. “I think there’s just a stigma around D1, D3 where it’s really just guiding the school.” NYU has given Behar something that Lehigh wasn’t able.
