One more game, and Connecticut has the perfect finish.
All those others who would stand in their way? They're not even close.
Renee Montgomery scored 26 points, Maya Moore added 24, and unbeaten UConn cruised to its first title game in five years with an 83-64 victory over Stanford on Sunday night.
The outcome never in doubt, Connecticut overwhelmed and dismantled Stanford, crushing the latest challenger to the Huskies' bid for a third undefeated season and sixth national championship.
UConn (38-0) will face Louisville for the title Tuesday night, setting up the first all-Big East final in NCAA women's basketball history.
Jayne Appel scored 26 points to lead Stanford (33-5), but she had little help.
