South Carolina beat Iowa 87-75 to win its third NCAA women’s championship. The Gamecocks' Tessa Johnson had 19 points and Kamilla Cardoso had 15 as the team smothered Iowa’s hope for its first championship title. It was the final game in the college career of Iowa Hawkeyes’ star Caitlin Clark, who broke Division I scoring for both women and men, and who is going to the WNBA draft. South Carolina coach Dawn Staley was overcome with emotion and was in tears after the win.
It’s unbelievable,” Staley said. With the win, South Carolina has the 10th most perfect season in the history of the Division I women’s basketball tournament. Clark, who made headlines this year by breaking scoring records for NCAA Division I women as well as men, had 30 points. Staley, after accepting the trophy along with her team, congratulated Iowa for an “incredible season,” and she singled out Clark. “I want to personally thank Caitlin Clark for lifting up our sport,” Staley said.
