South Carolina 87, Iowa 75: The 2024 NCAA Women's College Basketball Championship Game
ABC was the place to be for the 2024 NCAA Women's College Basketball Championship Game as Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes took on Kamilla Cardoso and the undefeated South Carolina Gamecocks. A strong start by Iowa fueled by 18 points from Clark in the first quarter alone wouldn't be enough to keep the Gamecocks from bringing home a national title with an 87-75 victory.
The two #1 seeds had advanced to the Final Four along with UConn and NC State earlier in the week. The Gamecocks rolled over the Wolfpack with a 78-59 Final Four victory that featured a strong performance from Kamilla Cardoso, who battled through an injury scare to rack up 22 points and 11 rebounds. In the second game, Iowa's Caitlin Clark shook off some first half shooting struggles to end up with 21 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists. Sophomore Hannah Stuelke was high scorer for the Hawkeyes with 23 points in Iowa's 71-69 victory over the UConn Huskies.
This led to an epic showdown in the 2024 NCAA Women's College Basketball Final where a consistently-outstanding South Carolina squad completed its perfect season by bringing home a national championship in 2024. Congratulations to the Gamecocks, Hawkeyes and all the teams who made this tournament one of the most memorable in college basketball history.
