COLUMBUS, OH – Notre Dame completed the biggest comeback in championship game history, climbing back from a 15-point deficit to defeat the Mississippi State Bulldogs 61-58 on a last-second three from Arike Ogunbowale. The Bulldogs lost their second title game in a row, while the Fighting Irish won their second national title.
Arike Ogunbowale had previously hit a game winner on Friday in the national semifinal to put her team over previously unbeaten UConn and send the Irish to the title game. John Sadak and Debbie Antonelli had the call live on Westwood One.
