The NCAA Women’s Basketball National Championship game between the No. 2 Iowa Hawkeyes and the No. 3 LSU Tigers was one for the ages. Both teams came into the game with impressive records and a lot to prove. The game was played at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas, and it was clear from the start that it was going to be a tightly contested battle.
The first quarter was evenly matched, with both teams trading baskets and playing solid defense. But it was Iowa who gained the early advantage, with Caitlin Clark scoring 10 points in the quarter to give her team a 22-18 lead. The second quarter saw LSU make a run, with Khayla Pointer leading the charge. Pointer scored 8 points in the quarter and helped her team take a 36-35 lead into halftime.
The second half was a back-and-forth affair, with neither team able to pull away. Clark continued to be a force for Iowa, scoring 14 points in the second half, while LSU’s Pointer and Faustine Aifuwa answered with big plays of their own. With just seconds left in the game, LSU had a chance to tie it up, but Aifuwa’s shot missed the mark, and Iowa held on for the 74-72 victory.
Clark finished with a game-high 35 points and was named the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player. It was a historic win for the Hawkeyes, who captured their first national championship in women’s basketball. The game was a thrilling display of skill, determination, and heart, and it will go down as one of the most memorable in NCAA history.
