UConn defeated South Carolina 82-59 to win its 12th NCAA women’s national title in program history on Sunday.

Azzi Fudd and Sarah Strong both scored 24 points, with Paige Bueckers finishing with 17 points.

“As a great teammate, a great leader. I think those are the two most important things to me, just being somebody that people love to play with, make their teammates better, wears a UConn jersey with pride,” said Bueckers when asked how she wanted to be remembered at UConn.

Bueckers is expected to be the No. 1 pick in the upcoming WNBA draft.

It has been nine years since UConn won a national title. The team, which last lost on February 6, finished the season 37-3.

Tessa Johnson lead South Carolina with 10 points.

South Carolina finished the year with a 35-4 record.
