TAMPA, Fla. — One by one, Candace Parker hugged her teammates on the sideline as the last seconds ticked away. It was all part of her final farewell to Tennessee.
All that was left was to hoist a championship trophy, which came after the Lady Vols’ 64-48 victory over Stanford on Tuesday night.
Parker scored 17 points and grabbed nine rebounds to help Tennessee capture its eighth championship. The Lady Vols also became the first repeat champs since Connecticut won three straight from 2002-04.
