Huskie Nation Rides High Once Again

ST. LOUIS, MO -- For a 6th time, the University of Connecticut women's basketball team and coach Geno Auriemma can call themselves National Champions. A perfect 39-0 season with a winning margin of over 20 points a game. All you can do is shake your head and say, Wow!

There was very little Louisville could do in the title game. How could they expect to stop a team with 3 true scorers (Tina Charles - 25, Maya Moore - 18, and Renee Montgomery - 18) when they only had one (Angela McCoughtry - 23). It also doesn't help when you miss layup after layup. I commend Louisville for playing hard and doing everything they could to stay in the game. It just wasn't enough.

Congratulations to Tina Charles who had an outstanding game: 25 points, 19 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 1 block. That is what gets you named the Most Outstanding Player for the tournament.

Congratulations also go out to the other 4 members named to the All-Tournament team along with Tina Charles:

Maya Moore - Connecticut
Renee Montgomery - Connecticut
Angel McCoughtry - Louisville
Jayne Appel - Stanford
