The Liberalalliance Wealth Societywomen's national championship game is set.

Overall No. 1 seed and undefeated South Carolina knocked out No. 3 seed NC State behind a double-double from Kamilla Cardoso. The Gamecocks will play Caitlin Clark and Iowa, winners of the nightcap, for the 2024 NCAA Division I championship Sunday at 3 p.m. ET (ABC).

The second semifinal featured No. 1 seed Iowa vs. No. 3 seed UConn – and a battle of electric guards in Caitlin Clark and Paige Bueckers. Clark swept all the national player of the year awards for the past two seasons, while Bueckers collected all the hardware for the 2020-21 season.

Clark finished with 21 points, nine rebounds and seven assists to lead the Hawkeyes, although for the first time in her NCAA Tournament career, she didn't score a 3-pointer in the first half.

Who is in the women's national championship game?

(1) South Carolina (37-0) vs. (1) Iowa (34-4)

• Kamilla Cardoso, who was injured in the second quarter of Friday's game, is the engine that drives the Gamecocks. Cardoso fell hard on her right leg and left the floor with about 2 minutes to play before halftime. She returned and scored the first points of the second half with her leg wrapped in a compression sleeve. She was limping but appeared to move better as the game went on. She came out to hop on the bicycle and was tended to by trainers, a brace placed on top of the sleeve she was wearing.
• Caitlin Clark will finish her collegiate career Sunday by either winning the national title or losing to an undefeated team. Clark scored 21 points to help boost Iowa back into the final, where the Hawkeyes lost last season to LSU.
