2005 NCAA Womens Basketball D1 Championship Tournament

The 2005 NCAA Division I women's basketball tournament began on March 19, 2005, and concluded on April 5, 2005, when Baylor was crowned as the new national champion. The Final Four was held at the RCA Dome in Indianapolis, Indiana on April 3 and 5, 2005. Baylor coached by Kim Mulkey-Robertson, defeated Michigan State, coached by Joanne P. McCallie, 84?62 in the championship game. Baylor's Sophia Young was named Most Outstanding Player. For the first time, taking a page from the Men's Tournament, the regionals were named after the city they were played in, rather than the geographical location. (East, Mideast, Midwest and West),
