We are fascinated by streaks in sports.
Amid the fury of back-to-back Super Bowls in 2003 and 2004, the New England Patriots put together an NFL-record 21 consecutive victories. The NBA standard belongs to the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers, who won 33 straight. In the mid-1950s, the University of Oklahoma prevailed in 47 straight football games. The University of North Carolina women's soccer team won 92 consecutive games from 1993 to 1995. Hurdler Edwin Moses went a decade (1977 to 1987) without losing, winning 122 races in a row.
These all are inspired, incandescent runs of consistent excellence that defy rational explanation. But there is a searing streak you probably are unaware of that dwarfs them all.
We give you: The Streak.
Trinity defeated Princeton 5-4 on Sunday for its 11th consecutive national title.
It belongs to Trinity College -- a lovely, gothic slice of 100 acres in Hartford, Conn. The Bantams' squash team -- don't snicker; this is serious, global stuff -- now has won 202 consecutive matches, an almost unimaginable number. This constitutes the longest winning streak in the history of college varsity sports.
