TAMPA, FLA. – Baylor women’s basketball defeated Notre Dame 82-81 in a title game thriller on Sunday night in Tampa, Fla., to claim the National Championship.
When junior forward Lauren Cox went down with a knee injury in the third quarter, and Notre Dame came roaring back in the fourth quarter to tie the game after being down 17, things looked bleak for the Lady Bears.
But the experienced team led by senior guard and Final Four Most Outstanding Player Chloe Jackson, prevailed to capture the program’s third National Championship.
