CYNTHIA COOPER-DYKEHead Coach • 2nd Season • USC 1986

Basketball Hall of Famer Cynthia Cooper-Dyke, who as a player helped lead USC to a pair of NCAA champi-onships before winning an Olympic gold medal and four WNBA titles and then as a head coach resurrected three collegiate programs, was named head coach of the USC women’s basketball program, Trojan athletic director Pat Haden announced on April 11, 2013.

The impact she made in her return to Troy was im-mediate. In her first season, the Trojans got out to a 3-0 start for the first time since 1998. Soon after, USC posted its first win over a ranked opponent since 2011. And the historic efforts just kept coming for Cooper-Dyke and her Women of Troy. The No. 5 seed in the 2014 Pac-12 Tour-nament, USC turned heads by not just becoming the first team to play four straight games in the tourney, the Trojans finished it out with four straight victories. Along the way, USC upset perennial champion Stanford in the semifinals before claiming its first-ever Pac-12 Tournament Champi-onship with a win over Oregon State in the final. That effort secured a spot in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2006. USC would ship off to Tennessee as a No. 9 seed, falling in the last seconds of the First Round to finish out a 22-13 overall record on the year.

It was a powerful turnaround for the Trojan program, which went 11-20 overall and 7-11 in Pac-12 play the previ-ous season.

“In Cynthia Cooper, we have a proven winning coach who happens to be a USC basketball icon,” Haden said. “She was a part of the best basketball ever played here at USC, and she has seen success at so many levels of the game. As a coach she has turned around several pro-grams. We believe she can lead USC back to successful women’s basketball, and we welcome her back to the USC campus.”

Cooper, 50, has nine-year collegiate head coaching record of 172-119 (.591), with eight post-season appear-ances and three league Coach of the Year honors. The run to the 2014 NCAA Tournament with the Trojans was Cooper’s fourth visit as a head coach.

Cooper-Dyke took over a tradition-rich USC program that is among the nation’s elite. The Women of Troy have appeared in four Final Fours, winning twice, and produced such icons as Cheryl Miller, Lisa Leslie, the McGee twins, Tina Thompson and Cooper-Dyke herself.

Cooper-Dyke was the head coach at Texas Southern

in 2013 and guided the Lady Tigers--who were 5-26 the previous year--to their first-ever Southwestern Athletic Con-ference regular season championship with a 16-2 league mark (14 more league wins than in 2012). TSU advanced to the SWAC Tournament’s semifinals (as the tourney’s No. 1 seed, a first in program history) and earned its first-ever WNIT berth. At 20-12 overall, the Lady Tigers set school records for season victories (20) and consecutive wins (15).

She spent the previous two seasons (2011-12) as the head coach at UNC Wilmington. Inheriting a Seahawks team that was 12-19 the prior season (and just 6-12 in league play), her debut 2011 squad notched a school re-cord for victories with a 24-9 overall mark (14-4 for second place in the Colonial Athletic Association), won 11 consec-utive home games, got to the semifinals of the CAA Tour-nament and advanced to the second round of the WNIT in the school’s first-ever post-season appearance. She was the 2011 CAA Coach of the Year. Then in 2012, UNCW posted its second consecutive 20-win season (20-13) for the first time in school history, made it to the CAA tourney semis again after going 11-7 in the league and was a WNIT participant.

Cooper-Dyke began her college coaching career at Prairie View A&M, a program that had never had a win-ning season. She posted an 86-72 record with four post-season appearances during her five-year (2006-10) tenure there. After going 7-21 overall (6-12 in the SWAC) in 2006, she guided her second team in 2007 to the program’s first winning campaign (19-14), its first SWAC regular season title (at 14-4), its first SWAC Tournament crown and its first NCAA Tournament berth, as she was named SWAC Coach of the Year. The Lady Panthers repeated as SWAC regular season champs in 2008 with a 15-3 league mark and finished at 22-12 with a trip to the WNIT. Prairie View won its third consecutive SWAC regular season title in 2009 (going 17-1), and also won the SWAC tourney title and played in the NCAA Tournament as she again was the SWAC Coach of the Year while her team had a 23-11 record. The Lady Panthers were 15-14 in 2010 (12-6 in for second in league play) and were a WNIT participant.

Cooper-Dyke was able to have such success at Prai-rie View, like Texas Southern a historically black college that faces financial and recruiting hurdles, despite having to endure NCAA sanctions her last 2 years that included scholarship reductions and probation. The program was

penalized for violations that occurred during Cooper’ first season, but the NCAA said those violations were the result of the school’s failure to educate her about NCAA rules.

One of the world’s greatest and most decorated women’s basketball players, Cooper-Dyke was the 1981 L.A. City Player of the Year at Locke High in Los Angeles while averaging 31 points a game and leading her team to the California State 4A championship. She also was on Locke’s track team.

She then starred as a 5-10 guard for USC’s 1983 and 1984 NCAA Championship teams. A four-time letterwinner (1982-84, 86), as a senior in 1986 she was named an All-Conference first teamer and made the NCAA All-Tourna-ment team as the Women of Troy made it to the NCAA Final. She averaged 12.9 points, 3.1 assists and 2.1 steals during her career as USC won 114 of 129 games. She currently ranks ninth on USC’s all-time scoring list (1,559 points), eighth in assists (381) and third in steals (256).

Cooper-Dyke began her pro career in Europe for Spain’s Samoa Betera (1986-87) and Italy’s Parma (1987-94) and Alcamo (1994-96) teams. She led the league in scoring once (36.7 average) with Samoa Betera and eight times in Italy. She was the MVP of the European All-Star team in 1987 and was named to the All-Star team of the Italian leagues in 1996 and 1997.

During that time, Cooper-Dyke collected five medals while representing the United States in international play. She won a gold medal at the 1987 Pan American Games, a gold at the 1988 Seoul Olympics, golds at the 1986 and 1990 FIBA World Championships and a bronze at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.

She returned to the United States in 1997 at the age of 34 to play with the Houston Comets of the newly-formed WNBA. She led the Comets to a record four consecutive WNBA championships (1997-2000), being named WNBA Finals MVP each time. She was the league’s MVP in 1997 and 1998 and was a two-time WNBA All-Star (1999-2000) before retiring in 2000. She led the league in scoring three consecutive years. She became the first WNBA player to hit the 500-, 1,000-, 2,000- and 2,500-point career scoring plateaus. She scored at least 30 points 16 times and had a 92-game double figure scoring streak.

She moved into the coaching ranks in 2001 as the head coach of the Phoenix Mercury and spent that season and the first half of the 2002 season there, going 19-23

@AllDecade14

“Some people, when they hire a coach, the athletic

department hits a home run. Southern California has hit a grand slam, with two out and down three with the bases loaded. They hit it

out of the park. This is one of the greatest hires. She’s

the perfect fit. She’s the hardest working person I’ve

ever been around. She’s a recruiting machine and she loves Southern Cali-

fornia. As a player she had the most tenacity, she was gritty, hard-nosed and hard-working. And she possesses

the same characteristics as a coach as she did as

a player. They better tie up their shoe laces in Southern California and tie them up

now!”-- Van Chancellor, former

Houston Comets head coach

“It’s obvious that she’s going to be an outstanding

coach. She’ll make a splash on the national stage. I’ve had the opportunity to play against her and it’s obvious that she’s knowledgeable and she knows what she

wants to do. She’s a great coach. Her teams play hard and with purpose. She was clearly a great competitor herself. When it comes to

USC, that’s her heart. I can think of no better repre-sentative than her. She’s a wonderful person and a great ambassador for the sport. She has the great

respect of coaches across the country. She has given so much of herself to the

game, she won’t be satisfied with anything less than the

best. She’ll put out a product that USC can be proud of. I’m very excited for her.”

-- C. Vivian Stringer, Rut-gers head coach

“Cynthia came back from playing overseas and joined a WNBA team that nobody had any expectations of,

after Sheryl Swoopes missed most of the season. But

Coop led that team to the first of four straight champi-onships. She won the first two MVP awards in WNBA

history. She set the tone: the first to practice and the last

one to leave. As a teammate and coach she’s an incred-

ible motivator. You’d run through a wall for her. Coop is extremely humble but she gets very fired up. She is a

strong woman and never has a defeatist attitude. She’ll be a great teacher for the Tro-

jans, in terms of knowing how to put things in perspective

and channeling that in a posi-tive way on the court. She’s worked with women at every level, and she’s a winner on

and off the court.”-- Hannah Storm, ESPN

SportsCenter anchor

“I absolutely enjoyed play-ing with Cynthia. She is the ultimate winner. She has an incredibly work ethic and a deep passion for being the best in whatever she does.

When I think about her, I think about passion, desire, and a work ethic to be a winner. “-- Coquese Washington, former Comets teammate

“Few basketball players have matched Cynthia’s ac-complishments on the court, and her successes with the

Houston Comets will go down as among the most

exciting moments in WNBA history. She will bring experi-ence, passion, stature and a complete understanding

of the game to her coaching duties at USC, and Trojan fans should consider them-selves very lucky to have

her back in the fold.”-- Val Ackerman, WNBA

founding president

overall, before returning to the Comets’ 2003 playing ros-ter until an early injury curtailed her season and led to her retirement. She earned her third WNBA All-Star honor in 2003 and, at 40, was the oldest player to play in a WNBA game at that time. She finished as Houston’s all-time leader in scoring (2,601 points), free throw percentage (.871) and assists (602). She averaged 21.2 points per game in her career.

She was inducted into the USC Athletic Hall of Fame in 1999, the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame in 2009 and the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 2010 (the first WNBA player enshrined). She was the Women’s Sports Foundation’s 1998 Sportswoman of the Year. In 2011, she was voted by fans as one of the Top 15 players in WNBA history.

Cooper-Dyke was born on April 14, 1963, in Chicago, Ill., but grew up in Los Angeles as one of eight children. She speaks Italian fluently. She earned her bachelor’s de-gree from Prairie View A&M.

She and her husband, Brian Dyke, who is a sports agent, have 10-year-old twins, son, Brian Jr., and daugh-ter, Cyan.

In 2000, Cooper-Dyke published her autobiography, “She Got Game: My Personal Odyssey,” chronicling her childhood, her basketball career and her mother’s battle with breast cancer.

@coachbethburns

Beth Burns comes to Troy following an impressive career at San Diego State, where she stands out as the winningest coach in program history with a 295-186 overall record at the school. While there, Burns worked with current USC assistant coach Jualeah Woods for eight of Burns’ 16 years with the Aztecs. In all, Burns has 21 years of head coaching experience, earning six conference Coach of the Year awards and making eight NCAA appearances, including a 2010 trip to the Sweet Sixteen. In her final season at San Diego State, Burns directed the Aztecs to a program-record 27 wins in a season that saw her claim another Mountain West Conference Coach of the Year honor along with back-to-back MWC regular-season titles. In her 21-year body of work as a head coach, Burns has collected eight 20-win seasons and produced five All-America selections, three conference players of the year, four conference tournament MVPs and 20 all-conference first-teamers.

In SDSU’s storybook 2010 season, Burns guided the Aztecs through a comeback finish with an overtime victory that secured the MWC Tournament title. A No. 11 seed in the 2010 NCAA tourney, the Aztecs toppled two ranked opponents — No. 10 West Virginia and No. 17 Texas to become the lowest seed since 2007 to advance to the Sweet Sixteen.

In between two eight-year stints at San Diego State, Burns spent five seasons as the head coach at Ohio State, where she had begun her coaching career as a graduate assistant coach in 1979.

When she first began at SDSU in 1989, Burns turned the Aztec program around from a 7-23 record in her first season, to a 14-14 record in her second year and then eventually to a 23-7 mark in 1997. In that stretch, she posted a 151-83 overall record. In 1993, Burns saw the Aztecs reach the NCAA Tournament for the first time in eight years. From 1989-97, Burns led SDSU to four 20-win seasons and four NCAA appearances.

In 1997, Burns departed SDSU to take over at Ohio State. There, she helped the Buckeyes to an 82-65 overall record, winning the 2001 WNIT title and reaching the 1999 NCAA Tournament.

Also in 1997, Burns was tabbed as a member of the USA Basketball Olympic team selection committee, where she served alongside Ceal Barry, Kay Yow and Pat Summitt from 1997-2000.

In 2001, Burns returned to San Diego as the owner and operator of her own fitness and basketball instruction business, BBHoops, before serving as the strength and conditioning coach for the women’s basketball program at Stanford in 2004-05. But coaching remained a driving force for Burns, who then stepped back to the helm of the San Diego State program in 2005. Her next eight years with the Aztecs saw Burns’ head coaching record balloon to 349-244 (.589) thanks to her SDSU efforts.

Burns’ collegiate coaching career began at Ohio State as a graduate assistant from 1979-81, under current Stanford head coach Tara VanDerveer. She then spent two seasons as an assistant coach at East Carolina (1981-83), helping the Lady Pirates to a No. 17 national ranking, before moving to Colorado (1983-88), where the Buffaloes made their first-ever NCAA tournament appearance in 1987-88.

Prior to taking her first head coaching job, Burns was an assistant coach at North Carolina State when the Wolfpack advanced to the Sweet 16 in 1989, coaching alongside the revered NC State head coach Kay Yow.

Her career has taken her from assistant positions at Ohio State, East Carolina, Colorado and NC State before landing at San Diego State as head coach in 1989. As a player, she attended Ohio Wesleyan, where she became the program’s all-time leading rebounder and has since been inducted into the Hall of Fame. She received her bachelor’s degree in health and physical education and later earned her master’s in physical education from Ohio State in 1981.

Off the court, Burns is devoted to community outreach as well as involvement in the Kay Yow Foundation, where she serves as a member of the foundation’s board. In 2008, she was honored with the YWCA’s Tribute to Women and Industry (TWIN) award for her outstanding achievements, lead-ership and contributions to her profession. Burns also was tabbed a Girls Scout “Cool Person of the Year”, and has received a honorary membership to the Phi Kappa Phi honor society. While in Ohio, she established the Beth Burns Bucks for Breast Cancer Research fund at the OSU/James Cancer Hospital and put together an annual fundraiser, OSU Bounce for Bucks, for cancer research.

“Beth is a legend,” USC head coach Cynthia Cooper-Dyke said. “She established a winning culture at San Diego State that is in line with what we are working to do here at USC. She a defensive-minded coach who has such wisdom when it comes to college basketball. Her passion and energy also make her a great fit for us here at USC, and I’m very eager to have her on staff.”

JUALEAH WOODSAssistant Coach • 2nd Season • USC 1994

@Coach_YY

Jualeah Woods is a 1994 graduate of USC, having won the 1994 Pac-10 Championship as Trojan alongside USC greats Lisa Leslie and Tina Thompson. Now entering her second season as an assistant coach at USC, Woods served as interim head coach at San Diego State after having spent the previous two seasons as associate head coach and the six previous years as an assistant coach to Beth Burns.

“Jualeah is just a great person,” USC head coach Cynthia Cooper-Dyke said. “She’s been at San Diego State for years. I love her personality and her ability to recruit, especially on the West Coast. She’s a really strong recruiter and I really feel like she’ll help make this staff great.”

While with the Aztecs, Woods served as recruiting coordinator, helping to secure San Diego State talent that has won two Mountain West Confer-ence regular-season and tournament titles and also made three NCAA appearances. In 2010, the Aztecs reached the Sweet Sixteen. Some of Woods’ top student-athletes at San Diego State were four-time all-MWC center Paris Johnson and 2010 MWC Newcomer of the Year Jessika Bradley.

Prior to her eight seasons at San Diego State, Woods served as an assistant coach at Oregon State for five years. Recruiting coordinator at OSU for her last three seasons in Corvallis, Woods helped the Beavers to four straight WNIT appearances, including a run to the WNIT quarterfinals in 2004.

A Berkeley native, Woods’ first collegiate coaching job was as an assistant coach at California for two seasons (1998-2000) after beginning her coaching career at Santa Monica High School as an assistant and later as head coach from 1994-97.

Woods earned her bachelor’s degree in public administration from USC in 1994. She was a four-year starter and a two-time team captain at Troy, helping lead the Trojans to four NCAA appearances, including runs to the Sweet Sixteen in 1992 and to the Elite Eight in 1993 and 1994.

Perhaps the finest female basketball player ever, Cheryl Miller finished her USC career owning virtually every school record, including career scoring (3,018 total points), scoring average (22.3 ppg), career rebounds (1,534), total field goals (1,159) and total free throws made (700). Miller also owns USC single-season records for points (814) and rebounds (474). During her career she broke USC’s all-time scoring records three times after adding 40 points against Cal State Fullerton (1/19/85), 43 against Louisiana Tech (1/26/85) and 45 against Arizona (2/28/85). Miller is the fastest player in USC history to reach the 1,000-point and 500-rebound mark in her career. In her four years, USC went an incredible 112-20, won two national championships and made three Final Four appearances. Twice she was named the NCAA Tournament MVP (1982-83, 1983-84). As an athlete, Miller personified the joy of basketball. She was known not only for her tremendous athletic talent, but for the dedication and emotion she embodied as well. A four-time All-American, Miller starred on the U.S. gold medal teams at the 1984 Olympics and 1983 and 1986 Goodwill Games, leading each squad in scoring.

Her accolades also include: 1984-85 ESPN Athlete of the Year... 1984 Black Achievement Award in Sports... three time NCAA all-tournament selection (1982-83, 1983-84, 1985-86)... 1982-83 Kodak, ABA-USA, Naismith and Fast Break All-American... 1983-84 Kodak, ABA-USA, Street & Smith’s, Naismith and NBA Today All-American... 1984-85 Kodak, ABA-USA, Naismith and Wade All-American... 1985-86 Kodak, ABA-USA, Naismith All-American... three-time All-WCAA first team selection (1982-83, 1983-84, 1984-85)... two time WCAA Player of the Year (1983-84, 1984-85)... 1985-86 Pac West Player of the Year and first team selection.

On Nov. 10, 2006, USC officially retired Miller’s #31 jersey, hanging it high in the Galen Center in a halftime ceremony of the USC women’s home opener.

A three-time All-American (1992-94), four-time All-Pac-10 team selection (the first player in Pac-10 history to be so honored) and the unanimous 1994 Naismith National Player of the Year, Leslie finished her Trojan career with 2,414 career points and 1,214 career rebounds. She remains USC’s all-time leading shot blocker (321), and also ranks as the Trojans’ No. 3 leading scorer, (20.1 ppg), No. 4 in free throws made (461) and in rebounding (10.1 rpg), and No. 8 in all-time steals (228). Leslie also still stands tall in the Pac-12 record books, too. She’s No. 2 all-time in field goals made (973) and in blocks, and is No. 5 in rebounding average. As a freshman, Leslie led the country in scoring and rebounding, then became the first rookie in Pac-10 history to be named a first team selection as well as the NCAA Freshman of the Year. She topped her resume at the 1996 Olympics where she led the U.S. women’s team to the gold medal and repeated the feat in 2000, 2004 and 2008 leading the United States to gold medals in Sydney, Athens and most recently in Beijing. A three-time WNBA MVP and two-time WNBA Champion, Leslie is the WNBA’s leader in career points and rebounds. She was named an All-WNBA first team (eight times) and second team (four times) selection in her 13 seasons with the Los Angeles Sparks. Also a two-time Defensive Player of the Year, Leslie was selected as a Western Conference All-Star eight times with three All-Star game MVP awards.

Her accolades as a Trojan include: 1992-93 Naismith Award Finalist... 1991-92 Naismith Award Semifinalist... 1990-91 NCAA Freshman of the Year... 1991-92 NEAC, USBWA and Basketball Times All-American... 1992-93 Basketball Times and Scripps-Howard All-American... 1993-94 Kodak, USBWA, Women’s Basketball Association and Basketball America All-American... 1990-91 Pac-10 Freshman of the Year... 1990-91 Pac-10 All-Freshman team... four-time All-Pac-10 First Team selection (1990-91, 1991-92, 1992-93, 1993-94)... three-time Pac-10 Player of the Week.

HIGHLIGHTING THE 1982-83 SEASON• Under sixth-year head coach Linda Sharp, the USC women’s basketball team entered the 1982-83 season ranked No. 1 by the AP, Sports Illustrated, Street & Smith and Women’s Sport Magazine.

• To begin the season, the Women of Troy earned 13 straight wins, including four 100+ scoring games. Among them, the Trojans defeated Louisiana Tech (two-time defending NCAA champions) 64-58, breaking the Lady Techster’s 59-game win streak.

• USC won the Wahine Rainbow Classic Tournament and Winston Tire Classic.

• In spite of playing one of the nation’s most competitive schedules that season, the Women of Troy recorded USC’s best season ever with a 31-2 mark.

• With a 13-1 record in the WCAA, USC captured the conference crown.

• In route to the National Championship, USC traveled more than 16,000 miles and broke 11 attendance records on the road.

FIRST ROUND• Paced by the efforts of Cheryl Miller and Cynthia Cooper, the Women of Troy defeated NE Louisiana State 99-85 to advance to the tournament regionals.

WEST REGIONAL• Against Arizona State, USC quickly built a 38-point advantage en route to a 96-59 victory. This was the third win over the Sun Devils this season.

• For the regional championship, the Trojans avenged an earlier season loss by defeating Long Beach State 81-74 in front of 4,216 at Pauley Pavilion. USC was led by the “Triple Threat” of Miller and the McGee sisters — Pam and Paula. All three earned NCAA All-Regional honors.

FINAL FOUR• The Trojans faced Mideast Champion Georgia in the NCAA Semifinals in Norfolk, Va. Up by 13 points at the half (40-27), USC defeated the Bulldogs 81-57. Miller posted 16 points and 14 rebounds, while fellow freshman Rhonda Windham set an NCAA Final Four record with 16 assists.

FINALS• USC and Louisiana Tech, the defending champion, met for the third time this season in the championship game. • In front of 7,800 screaming fans, The Women of Troy were sluggish to start the game and entered halftime with an 11-point deficit (26-37).

• To start the second half, Coach Linda Sharp employed a full-court press that led the Trojans on a 9-2 run midway through the half. Fueled by key steals from Cooper, USC took its first lead, 61-59, on a 16-foot jumper by Miller with 5:48 remaining.

• USC increased its lead to five points with 1:57 on the clock, but saw that advantage diminish to two with six sec-onds remaining. Top-of-the-key desperation shots by the Lady Techsters fell short, and the Women of Troy won the program’s first-ever NCAA National Championship, 69-67.

• Miller scored a championship game record 27 points after taking over in the second half and hitting key shots. She also broke the game record for most free throws at-tempted (14) and free throws made (11) and was named Championship MVP.

HIGHLIGHTING THE 1983-84 SEASON• The Women of Troy entered the 1983-84 season as the defending NCAA champs and ranked No. 1 according to the Associated Press. With the leadership of Cheryl Miller and Cynthia Cooper, both preseason All-American candidates, a lot was expected from the USC women’s basketball program and its nine returning letterwinners.

• The Trojans began the season with 10 consecutive victories, including wins over highly ranked Maryland, Tennessee (twice), Missouri, Georgia and Oregon.

• Despite the start, USC suffered a disappointing road trip in early January, enduring successive nine-point losses to Texas and Louisiana Tech, then losing to Old Dominion two nights later. The Women of Troy returned to win 14 consecutive games following the brief losing streak.

• In the final game of the season, the Trojans fell to Long Beach State 71-67 and were forced to share the WCAA title with the West Coast rival 49ers.

FIRST ROUND• USC hosted the first round of the NCAA Tournament and defeated BYU 97-72. The team was paced by Pam McGee, who had 25 points, and Cheryl Miller, who grabbed 14 boards.

WEST REGIONAL• Leading to the regional championship, the Women of Troy earned a 76-51 win over Montana thanks to the scoring efforts of Paula McGee (22 points) and the rebounding of her sister, Pam (12 rebounds).

• Advancing to the regional championship game, USC sought revenge against Long Beach State and dominated the meet-

ing. At the Sports Arena, the Trojans led by as many as 30 points in the second half in route to the 90-74 victory. The 49ers were not able to contain the McGee sisters (Paula had 22 points, Pam added 11 rebounds) as USC advanced to the Final Four by defeating its WCAA arch-rival.

FINAL FOUR• In a rematch of the 1983 national championship game and one of the Trojans’ early season losses, USC met Louisiana Tech in the semifinals of the Final Four. The Women of Troy struggled early in the contest with their own running attack, and were forced to play the slow and deliberate-style game of the Lady Techsters. The Trojans rallied with six minutes remaining as Cynthia Cooper entered the game and hit three straight shots and Yolanda Fletcher added two to put USC on top.

FINALS• Surprisingly, USC faced Tennessee in the championship game after the Lady Vols upset No. 3 Georgia and No. 4 Old Dominion to reach the finals. The Trojans were the heavy favorites over 15th-ranked Tennessee, having already defeated the Lady Vols twice earlier in the season. • Despite the advantage, USC needed a come-from-behind effort the win the game. The Lady Vols entered halftime with a 28-26 lead and managed to hold onto a one-point lead with 7:36 left to play. Once again, head coach Linda Sharp inserted Cynthia Cooper back into the lineup. Cooper responded by penetrating Tennessee’s zone defense.

• The Trojans sealed the championship with an 8-0 run. The partisan Los Angeles crowd was on its feet as the Women of Troy defeated the Lady Vols 72-61 to claim their second-straight NCAA National Championship — the first school to do so in women’s basketball history.
