UCLA controlled the game from the opening tip, built an early lead and never looked back, overwhelming South Carolina on both ends of the floor. The Gamecocks, one of the most dominant teams all season, struggled to find any rhythm and couldn’t generate enough offense to keep pace. In the end, it was UCLA's first NCAA women’s basketball championship. How impressive was UCLA?
