NCAA WOMEN'S FINAL FOUR RECAP

Today was another great day on the women's end of the tournament as we saw four great teams battle to enter the final round of the tournament. While only two teams stand this tournament has had a few shockers. MARYLAND has made it all the way to the final four and they sat as a number four seed in their region. Maryland struggled sunday  when they entered the semi final round of the final four but the experience for Maryland was anything but sadness as they would fall in the first round to NOTRE DAME. The fact that Maryland finally made it this far in the tournament was something they had been so close to in previous years but never had the chance to get their. Notre Dame new this experience all to well as they have been to the final four consecutive years. Notre Dame new that this year was their year and showed it with their current season record leading up to this game as they would be 36-0. The fighting irish would continue that winning streak sunday night making it back to the final game improving their record 37-0. This would be the best record in school history for the Irish. Notre Dame would go on to win this meeting 87-61.

The second game of the evening both teams were in a familiar position. STANDFORD CARDINALS vs UCONN HUSKIES . Both of these teams have made it to the final four for consecutive years and the huskies were the raining champion. The cardinals came into this game having not as great of a season in years past as they would be placed as a number two seed this season in their region. The huskies came into this game, the raining champion and wanted to defend their title tonight in the semi final round. Both teams would play strong in the first half but the huskies would gain a 28-24 lead on the cardinals by the end of the half. The second half the huskies would pull away, out scoring the cardinals 47-32. The huskies would go on to win it 75-56 earning their way back to the title game, to defend their crown.
