nytimes.com - TAMPA, Fla. — Connecticut’s third straight N.C.A.A. women’s basketball championship was impassioned, not pretty. But in the end, it was perfect.
Withstanding a rugged challenge from Notre Dame in a rematch of last year’s national title game, the Huskies earned a 63-53 victory on Tuesday night and a record 10th championship for Coach Geno Auriemma, whose teams have never lost in the title game and who tied the U.C.L.A. legend John Wooden for the most titles in college basketball history.
The victory also made forward Breanna Stewart, who was named the Final Four’s most outstanding player, 3 for 3 in title games, and point guard Moriah Jefferson on the path for a chance at an unprecedented fourth championship next season.
