One game stands between South Carolina and UCLA to decide who will stand alone as the top team in women's college basketball.
Dawn Staley has led her Gamecocks to their fourth title game in five seasons, after defeating the No. 1 UConn Huskies 62-48 on Friday night. This ended UConn's 54-game win streak, the longest active streak in all of NCAA basketball. Now, South Carolina will look to end another bit of history on Sunday afternoon.
