LSU TIGERS ARE CROWNED NATIONAL CHAMPIONS TAKING DOWN CAITLIN CLARK, IOWA HAWKEYES
The LSU Tigers made history Sunday night as they defeated the Iowa Hawkeyes 102-85 to win the NCAA Women's Tournament, bringing LSU its first national title in program history. LSU also set a new record for most points scored in a tournament final and head coach Kim Mulkey became the first woman to win a championship at two different schools.
The test wasn't easy for LSU. Iowa was favored going into the matchup as they had the nation's leading scorer on their side. Caitlin Clark averages 28 points per game and was coming off of two 41-point performances in a row in the tournament. The Tigers' pursuit for a championship got even more difficult when team leader and nation's best offensive rebounder Angel Reese got into foul trouble in the first half. But it was Jasmine Carson's heroics off the bench, draining 21 points and five three pointers in the first half that propelled LSU to a massive lead over the Hawkeyes going into the half.
Going into this season, Mulkey brought in nine players from the transfer portal and was the 16th ranked team in the country. Mulkey was entering only her second season in Baton Rouge. Fast forward to April 2, the Tigers are national champions.
