In a finish that came down to the last five seconds of the game, Stanford won its third national championship, defeating Arizona, 54-53.
Stanford committed a shot clock violation with its final possession and a 1-point lead, giving the Wildcats a last chance to seize the game. They didn’t as Aari McDonald missed a final heave, and the Cardinal claimed their first title since 1992.
It was the third national title for Stanford’s coach, Tara VanDerveer, which made her just the fourth women’s college basketball coach to win three or more national championships.
