The Stanford University women’s basketball team won the NCAA Championship this weekend, according to CBS News<\/a>. It marked the first time the team has won the title in 29 years, according to KRON-TV<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had some special karma going for us,\u201d Coach Tara VanDerveer said. \u201cHad the comeback against Louisville, dodge a bullet against South Carolina, dodge a bullet against Arizona. Sometimes you have to be lucky. I\u2019ll admit it, we were very fortunate to win.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Stanford beat Arizona 54-53. Player Haley Jones, who was named as the NCAA tournament’s Most Outstanding Player, scored 17 points.<\/p>\n

Both teams made mistakes during the game with players missing opportunities to score, including easy layups. However, the Stanford players did enough to scrape by with the win.<\/p>\n

It was also a challenging season overall for the players. Due to the impact of the pandemic, they were obligated to travel on the road for almost 10 weeks and also spent 86 days in hotels.\u00a0However, VanDerveer, 67, said the team took it all in stride. Their tournament win also marks a milestone in VanDerveer\u2019s career.<\/p>\n

This marked the 1,099th career victory for the Hall of Fame coach. She now has the most wins of all time in women\u2019s basketball history for any coach, even surpassing Pat Summitt\u2019s record.<\/p>\n

This is VanDerveer\u2019s third national title after the championships she won in 1990 and 1992. The win was also the first women\u2019s basketball championship in the Pac-12 since the Stanford women\u2019s team won the NCAA title in 1992.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
