South Carolina beat Iowa to win NCAA women's Basketball championship

In order to complete an unbeaten season and win the NCAA women's basketball championship, South Carolina defeated Iowa.

In Cleveland on Sunday, the 38-0 Gamecocks overcame the Hawkeyes, led by record-setting guard Caitlin Clark, to win their third national championship and became the 10th team in sports history to win the title without losing.

With 19 points from the bench, Tessa Johnson led the Gamecocks, while Kamilla Cardoso pulled down a game-high 17 rebounds.

March Madness was relatively easy for South Carolina, which had the top overall seed going into the women's NCAA Tournament.

The Gamecocks were winning by almost thirty points a game, and Dawn Staley's team had not dropped a game since the Hawkeyes defeated them in the previous year's Final Four.

The team's offensive and defensive leader, Kamilla Cardoso, is slated to be selected in the top five spots of the WNBA Draft on April 15.

For the second straight year, Iowa's season concluded in the national championship game thanks to a 30-point performance from Clark in the last game of her college career.

There will be one more heavyweight final bout on Monday night to wrap up the men's tournament.

Connecticut, the defending champion, will take on Purdue, the No. 1 seed hoping to win a national championship after the latter has powered its way through the tournament for the past two years.
