New York University's top-ranked women's basketball team posted its 72nd-consecutive victory, defeating SUNY Oneonta 89-37 at the Montreal Shootout on Tuesday, December 30, in Montreal, Canada.

The Violets (10-0) scored the first nine points of the game, removing any concern about the winning streak coming to an end.

SUNY Oneonta did not score in the second quarter until there was only 3:20 remaining, with the Violets taking a 44-11 lead at the halftime break.

NYU's lead increased to 62-24 after the third quarter and reached a game-high 52 points, 84-32, following Olive Batch's three-pointer with 2:44 remaining.
