South Carolina Avenges Loss, Wins 2024 Women's NCAA Championship
Iowa Falls to Gamecocks in Thriller
South Carolina's Redemption Complete
In a thrilling championship game, the South Carolina Gamecocks avenged their only loss of last season, defeating the Iowa Hawkeyes 87-75 to win the 2024 NCAA Women's Basketball National Championship.
The Gamecocks, who had lost to Iowa in the Elite Eight last year, dominated from start to finish, shooting 55% from the field and holding the Hawkeyes to just 38%. Aliyah Boston led the way for South Carolina with 20 points and 10 rebounds, while Zia Cooke added 18 points and Destanni Henderson chipped in with 15.
Iowa's Offense Uncharacteristically Cold
Iowa, which entered the game as the nation's top scoring offense, struggled to find its rhythm throughout the night. The Hawkeyes shot just 40% from the field and made only 6 of 23 three-point attempts.
Caitlin Clark, who averaged over 20 points per game this season, was held to just 12 points on 5-of-17 shooting. Monika Czinano, who scored 14 points in the semifinals, was also held in check, finishing with just 8 points.
A New Era in Women's College Basketball
With South Carolina's victory, a new era has officially begun in women's college basketball. The Gamecocks' win marks the first time since UConn in 2016 that a team has repeated as national champions.
Dawn Staley's squad has now won two national championships in the past three years, and with a loaded roster returning next season, they will be the heavy favorites to make it three in a row.
