Kim Mulkey is back in another national championship game, this time taking the flagship university from her home state there for the first time.
It took LSU only two seasons to get there with the feisty and flamboyant dressed coach, and a big comeback in the national semifinal game that was quite an undercard Friday night.
Reese finished with 24 points and 12 rebounds for LSU , which will play in the national title game Sunday against the winner of the highly anticipated matchup between SEC foe South Carolina or Iowa in the other semifinal. "I came home for lots of reasons," Mulkey said."One, to some day hang a championship banner in the PMAC . Never, ever do you think you're going to do something like this in two years."
Elizabeth Kitley, the 6-foot-6 senior, had 18 points and 12 rebounds for Virginia Tech , the ACC champion that was in the Final Four for the first time. Georgia Amoore and Kayana Traylor each had 17 points, while Cayla King had 14. "I think we had a few crucial turnovers as well as missed box-outs where they scored on second-chance opportunities," Traylor said."I think that's just what it came down to really."
Virginia Tech had ended the first half with its own 11-0 run to lead for the first time, at 34-32 on Traylor's driving layup with 53 seconds left.
