PHOENIX — The South Carolina women's basketball team stopped UConn's 54-game winning streak in the Final Four at Mortgage Matchup Arena on April 3.
The Gamecocks have won three championships under coach Dawn Staley and will be looking for a fourth on April 5. Standing in their way will be UCLA, looking for its first NCAA national championship. The Bruins defeated Texas in a defensive battle in the second semifinal game on Friday night.
South Carolina and UCLA will meet Sunday (3:30 p.m. ET, ABC) for the national title in the Women's NCAA Tournament.
"This is something that we've all dreamt of being in the position in," UCLA senior center Lauren Betts said. "We're all very thankful. We expected to be here.
"Tonight we'll all celebrate with our families and soak this in. Tomorrow we have to lock in and prep for another 1-0."
