The NCAA Women’s Basketball Final Four is taking place place on Sunday, and to get things started we could not have asked for a better game. The Notre Dame Fighting Irish took on the South Carolina Gamecocks in a battle of No. 1 seeds, and when all was said and it, it will be the Fighting Irish that will be making their way back to the National Championship Game following a brutal 66-65 win.

This one was far from easy for the Irish women, although they made it look easy for a while.

Notre Dame took a 32-28 lead into the locker room, and they extended it from there in the second half a bit. However, much like they did in their Elite 8 match up against Florida State, South Carolina fired back and took the lead with under a minute to go.

The Irish, though, were able to get a bucket from Madison Cable with 18 seconds to go that eventually secured the win. South Carolina had a final chance with the clock ticking down, but Tiffany Mitchell couldn’t the three to fall and the Gamecocks season came to an end.

Here is a look at the NCAA Women’s Tournament bracket following Notre Dame advancing to the title game.
