Playing for the national championship are the Arizona Wildcats, who stunned UConn, and the Stanford Cardinal, who hung on against South Carolina.

The Cardinal won the first two by a combined 41 points.

The women's national championship game will be played in the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. It takes place today, Sunday, April 4 at 6 p.m. ET (3 p.m. PT) on ESPN.
