Caitlin Clark led Iowa to a thrilling 71-69 victory over UConn in the women's Final Four, securing a spot in the national championship game. The Hawkeyes, with a record of 34-4, are now set for a rematch against unbeaten South Carolina, the team they defeated in last year's national semifinals. This win puts Clark one step closer to bringing Iowa its first women’s basketball title.
Despite a challenging start due to UConn's strong defense, Clark, the NCAA Division I all-time leading scorer, came alive in the fourth quarter. She scored seven crucial points early in the period to give Iowa a lead they would maintain. Hannah Stuelke also played a pivotal role, contributing 23 points to Iowa's victory.
