Tennessee's Lady Vols won their second national championship with a 76-60 victory over Southeastern Conference rival Auburn. The previous season both had been defeated in the semifinals, but it was all SEC in the finals in 1989. Seniors Bridgette Gordon and Sheila Frost led the way for the Lady Vols with superb board work, Gordon grabbing 11 caroms and Frost 12. Gordon put on quite a show, throwing down 17 big points while frosh Dena Head contributed 19 to the cause. Gordon was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player. |
