UConn and Louisville In Women's Final
Monday, April 8th, 2013 -- 10:46 AM
Connecticut will go for their record tying 8th championship on Tuesday night against Louisville in New Orleans.The upstart Louisville Cardinals got 18 points -- all on 3-pointers -- from Antonita Slaughter and they methodically clawed back from a 10-point halftime deficit to beat California 64-57 on Sunday night in the NCAA semifinals. The Cardinals are the 10th school to have both basketball teams reach the Final Four in the same season. Only UConn won both titles in the same season, back in 2004.
Freshman Breanna Stewart scored a career-high 29 points to go with four blocks and was seemingly everywhere in leading the Connecticut Huskies back to the national championship game with an 83-65 win over the Notre Dame Fighting Irish on Sunday night.
