Records in sports are to be broken—but not all of them go down so easily. In NCAA women’s basketball, there are some achievements so outrageous they’ve lasted decades, challenging anyone even to attempt to best them. Let’s take a glance at seven records that might never be broken—and the dominant players and programs that made them so.
Unbeatable NCAA Women’s Basketball Records
1. UConn’s 111-Game Winning Streak (2014–2017)
The University of Connecticut has been the standard for women’s college basketball for decades. Their 111-game winning streak that lasted from 2014 to 2017 is the jewel in their crown.
With Geno Auriemma running the show, UConn won every single game over nearly three full seasons. The team captured two national titles during the streak, bulldozing opponents by 30+ points on average.
The run ended heartbreakingly with an overtime buzzer-beater loss to Mississippi State in the 2017 Final Four. It was one of the most iconic upsets in NCAA tournament history. But even in defeat, the streak solidified UConn as one of the greatest programs in history.
2. UConn’s 86 Consecutive Halftime Leads (2011–2013)
Ever wonder just how consistent UConn was at their peak? How about being ahead at halftime for 86 consecutive games?
That’s right—from 2011 to 2013, the Huskies never trailed after the first 20 minutes. It was a clinic in preparation, concentration, and execution. Coach Auriemma’s team was laying it on the opponents early, making them run from the very beginning.
Sure, blowout victories are nothing new. However, it was the psychological advantage of never being behind that made this record so outlandish—and almost impossible to break.
3. Brittney Griner’s Career Blocks (748, 2009–2013)
Brittney Griner was a one-woman block party at Baylor. Towering at 6-foot-8 with an absurd wingspan, she swatted away 748 shots during her college career—almost 200 more than the next closest player.
Griner’s presence in the paint forced offenses to change their entire game plan. Drivers hesitated, shooters double-pumped, and coaches just hoped she might get into foul trouble. She was more than just a rim protector; she was Baylor’s defensive system.
4. Geno Auriemma’s Coaching Victories (1,218 and Growing)
Geno Auriemma became the all-time winningest coach in NCAA basketball history on Nov. 20, 2024, when UConn defeated Fairleigh Dickinson, win No. 1,217. That figure surpassed Stanford’s Tara VanDerveer and added another example to his unparalleled resume: 12 national championships, six perfect seasons, and a checklist of All-Americans and WNBA legends.
Auriemma didn’t merely coach a team—he constructed an empire. His victory tally continues to rise, but even today, it appears to be a mountain too high for another to scale.
5. Courtney Paris’ Career Rebounds (2,034, 2005–2009)
Courtney Paris was a rebounding machine at Oklahoma. She pulled down an absurd 2,034 rebounds in her career. Paris becomes the lone player—male or female—to record 2,000 points and 2,000 boards in NCAA history.
Paris possessed elite instincts, strength, and positioning that rendered her nearly unboxable. She provided her team with second chances on offense. Well, Paris denied them to everyone else. Nobody has even come near that number since.
6. Suzie McConnell-Serio’s Career Assists (1,307, 1984–1988)
Before flashy dimes were social media highlights, Suzie McConnell-Serio was piling up assists like there was no tomorrow at Penn State. She recorded 1,307 assists in four years—an NCAA mark that remains unbroken.
McConnell-Serio possessed crazy vision, knowing where her teammates were going to be before they arrived. Her passes weren’t pretty—they were timed to perfection and laser-accurate. She was the driving force behind every bucket.
7. Caitlin Clark’s Scoring and Three-Point Records (3,951 Points, 548 Threes)
Caitlin Clark made college hoops must-see TV. She did not simply score—she bombed it from the logo, burned defenders, and wrote new pages in the NCAA scoring record books. With 3,951 points and 548 made three-pointers, Clark established a new standard for what a high-volume, high-efficiency scorer in the contemporary age can be.

Her capacity to score from anywhere and make the crowd explode each game placed her in a category of one. Players can approximate, but equaling her combination of volume, accuracy, and stardom? That’s asking a lot.
