The longest active winning streak in all of NCAA basketball keeps rolling with the Hope College women's basketball team.

The top-ranked Flying Dutch raced to a 93-50 victory against Benedictine University (Illinois) on Thursday at DeVos Fieldhouse. It was Hope's 53rd consecutive victory — the longest current unbeaten run in any of the NCAA's women's or men divisions.

Hope (8-0 this season) also tied for the sixth-longest streak in NCAA Division III women's basketball history. Fairleigh Dickinson University-Florham won 53 games in a row November 15, 2013 to February 4, 2015.

Center Olivia Voskuil led five Flying Dutch in double figures with 14 points. 

Hope trailed only once early in the game and charged to a 23-8 first-quarter lead.

The Flying Dutch's next game is Saturday, Dec. 11, at 1 p.m. against Kalamzoo College in MIAA play at DeVos Fieldhouse.
