UConn Huskies Dominate South Carolina to Win 2025 NCAA Women’s Basketball National Championship
CLEVELAND — The dynasty is back on top.
The UConn Huskies captured their 12th NCAA Women’s Basketball National Championship on Sunday night, delivering a statement performance in an 82-59 rout of previously undefeated South Carolina at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland.
Led by legendary head coach Geno Auriemma, UConn ended the Gamecocks’ perfect season in emphatic fashion, controlling the game from start to finish. The Huskies’ suffocating defense and sharp offensive execution proved too much for Dawn Staley’s South Carolina squad, who entered the title game seeking their third championship in four seasons.
UConn’s victory marks their first national title since 2016, reestablishing the program’s dominance on the biggest stage of women’s college basketball.
“This group has been through so much,” Auriemma said postgame. “To see them come together and play the way they did tonight, against a team like South Carolina — it’s just incredibly special.”
The Huskies’ balanced scoring attack and relentless defense set the tone early, building a double-digit lead in the first half and never looking back.
The win adds yet another chapter to UConn’s storied history, reinforcing their status as the gold standard of women’s college basketball.
Final Score:
UConn 82 — South Carolina 59
National Champions once again — the UConn Huskies reign supreme.
