ACE vs. ICE

Ace won.

It was billed as a showdown between Stanford’s Candice Wiggins (11) and Tennessee’s Candace Parker (3). It was, and Candace came out on top.

Parker shook off a variety of injuries and scored 17 points and grabbed nine rebounds to help Tennessee capture its eighth NCAA women's basketball title with a 64-48 victory over Stanford on Tuesday night. The Lady Vols also became the first repeat champs since Connecticut won three straight from 2002-04.

Parker was MOP for the second straight year as well.
