CLEVELAND—Coach Dawn Staley and the University of South Carolina women’s basketball team completed their perfect season Sunday, ending Caitlin Clark’s historic college career with an 87–75 win over Iowa in the NCAA Tournament’s championship game.
With Ms. Staley directing a relentless attack, the Gamecocks (38–0) became the 10th Division I team to go through a season without a loss. And they accomplished the feat after they lost all five starters from last season’s team that had fallen to Clark’s Iowa squad in the national semifinals.
