MINNEAPOLIS -- One year after a heartbreaking loss in the national semifinal game to eventual champion Stanford, the 1-seed South Carolina Gamecocks found redemption, earning the program's second national championship with a 64-49 victory over 2-seed UConn in the national title game at Minneapolis' Target Center.
The Gamecocks, which including Sunday went 14-0 against Associated Press ranked teams this season, became the eighth program to win multiple national titles in NCAA women's basketball history, joining UConn (11), Tennessee (8), Stanford (3), Baylor (3), Notre Dame (2), USC (2) and Louisiana Tech (2). They are also the 12th team to go wire-to-wire as No.
