The women's Final Four is set: Perennial power U-Conn. will face its nemesis, Notre Dame, while top-seeded Baylor will meet Oregon
Connecticut players celebrate advancing to the Final Four, the program's 13th straight appearance in the national semifinal round. By Ava Wallace Ava Wallace Reporter covering local colleges and universities Email Bio Follow April 1 at 10:57 PM The Final Four is set, and Friday’s national semifinals will feature the defending champion, a Final Four newcomer and a pair of longtime foes.
Connecticut: The Huskies advanced to their 12th consecutive Final Four with an 80-73 win over No. 1 Louisville in Albany fueled by a 29-point performance from star Katie Lou Samuelson. The senior guard is, believe it or not, still recovering from the back injury that kept her out of four games heading into the NCAA tournament. Samuelson appeared to be fully back Sunday, drilling seven of Connecticut’s 14 three’s.
Notre Dame: The defending champion Fighting Irish were the final team to round out the Final Four, with an 84-68 come-from-behind win over No. 2 seed Stanford on Monday. Coach Muffet McGraw is taking her team to the national semifinals for the ninth time; the Irish are going for their third national title. The team was lead by their usual stars Monday — Jackie Young had 25 points and Arike Ogunbowale, who made back-to-back buzzer beaters at last year’s Final Four, had 21.
Oregon shot extremely well Sunday, 54.2 percent from the floor, and Ionescu wasn’t the only reason. Satou Sabally made a trio of three-pointers and scored 22 points.
