The New York University's women's basketball team extended its nation-long winning streak to 38 games with a 97-50 triumph over Tufts University on Sunday, December 8, in Medford, MA. 

This marks the fifth consecutive game where the Violets (7-0) have scored at least 90 points, while each of their victories this season have been by at least 29 points. 

The Violets took control in the first quarter, using an early 12-0 run to establish a double-digit lead they never relinquished.
