 TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - With the game in hand and a minute left, Candace Parker went to the Tennessee bench for the final time, holding up four fingers on each hand to signify the eight titles the Lady Vols have won.
Parker came to Tennessee four years ago with one goal in mind: Restore the Lady Vols back to the Rocky Top.
A bruised and braced Parker scored 17 points and grabbed nine rebounds to help Tennessee capture its eighth NCAA women's basketball title with a 64-48 victory over Stanford on Tuesday night. The Lady Vols also became the first repeat champs since Connecticut won three straight from 2002-04.
