Twice! Uconn has done 99-1 in two separate periods with two completely different teams.

Wayland Baptist holds the record going 131 games without a loss.
In individual sports - Squash - Kahn went 555 wins in a row over a six year period and Heather McKay went 19 years without a loss, but there is no official record of how many wins that included!
Team version of Squash - Trinity 252 matches in a row.
Mens Team Tennis - 137 by U of Miami
Beach Volleyball - Treaner and Walsh - 112 matches
Penn State Volleyball- 109
UNC women's soccer - 103 wins followed by a loss to Uconn :) followed by 101 wins - 204-1

ESPN cherry picked a bit! :rolleyes:
