TAMPA, FLA. – No. 1 seed Baylor women’s basketball looks to capture its third National Championship when it faces defending champion No. 1 seed Notre Dame at 5 p.m. Sunday in Tampa, Fla.
The Lady Bears (36-1) will face the Fighting Irish (35-3) for the title for the second time. The two teams met in Denver in 2012, where Baylor completed its 40-0 season with an 80-61 win to claim its second National Championship. The Lady Bears were eliminated by Notre Dame in the Elite Eight in 2014 and 2015.
The Fighting Irish are a veteran team, starting four seniors and one junior (who could leave for the WNBA after this season).
