LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Chantel Osahor and Kelsey Plum always believed they could help make Washington a championship-caliber program.
They signed with the Huskies as out-of-state recruits even though Washington had never reached the Final Four and hadn't won an NCAA Tournament game since 2006. Their faith was rewarded Sunday when the junior tandem led the seventh-seeded Huskies to an 85-76 victory over No. 4 seed Stanford in the NCAA Lexington Regional women's basketball final.
"I don't think it's really hit us," said Osahor, wearing a piece of the Rupp Arena net tied to her Final Four hat.
