OU denies Summitt; Paris’ streak ends

By The Associated Press     Feb 3, 2009

? Pat Summitt’s 1,000th victory will have to wait at least another game.

Courtney Paris’ record 112-game double-double streak came to an end, but Whitney Hand matched her career high with 20 points Monday night.

Summitt was denied in her first attempt at reaching the coaching milestone. She’ll get another chance Thursday when the Lady Vols host Georgia.

Paris had nine points and 12 rebounds and got a standing ovation when she fouled out with 38.2 seconds left. She waved to the crowd as she walked to the sideline.

Shekinna Stricklen scored 21 to lead the Lady Vols (16-5). Glory Johnson added 12 and Vicki Baugh 11.
