\t\t\tSALEM, Va. (AP) \u2014 NYU\u2019s record 91-game winning streak is over after a 60-52 loss to Scranton in the Final Four of the Division III NCAA Tournament on Thursday night. The Associated Press
\nThe Violets (29-1) had the second-longest winning streak in NCAA history, only trailing UConn\u2019s 111-game run<\/a>.
\nThe two-time defending champion Violets got off to a slow start and trailed 30-18 at the half to Scranton (32-0). NYU rallied in the second half, cutting the Lady Royals\u2019 lead to three early in the third quarter, but Scranton answered.
\nDown 13 in the fourth, NYU got within 56-52 with 46 seconds left, but could get no closer as Scranton hit free throws down the stretch, including two by Meghan Lamanna to seal the win.
\nThe Violets last loss was March 11, 2023, when they were beaten by Transylvania in the Elite Eight. Senior Caroline Peper was the only player on the team who had lost a game in her career. She had 19 points in the loss and is the lone senior on the squad.
\nNYU had been winning by an average of more than 35 points a game this season. The Violets broke the Division III record<\/a> for most consecutive wins, held by Washington University of St. Louis, on Feb. 8 with their 82nd consecutive win.
\nScranton had beaten Pitt in an exhibition game earlier this year.
