The AIAW Women's Basketball Tournament was a national tournament for women's collegiate basketball teams in the United States, held annually from 1972 to 1982.[1][2] The winners of the AIAW tournaments from 1972 to 1981 are recognized as the national champions for those years.[3][4][5][6]
The AIAW tournament was discontinued after the NCAA began sponsoring a women's collegiate basketball tournament in 1982."
The key players during this stretch were:
- Immaculata (Penn.) (three-peat champion in 72-73-74) and other final four appearances. Coach: Cathy Rush
- Delta State (Miss.) (three-peat champion in 75-75-77). Coach: Margaret Wade
- Old Domininion (Va.) (two-time champion in 79, 80) Coach: Marianne Stanley.
Cathy Rush is in the Naismith Hall of Fame and was formerly married to long-time NBA referee, Ed Rush. Her team was featured in a movie about Immaculata and she still runs a basketball camp.
Wade is also in the Hall of Fame and was known for coaching Luisa Harris, who was a mid-70s superstar.
Or at least someone suggested she should go there. I believe she said that her response was "No boys, no way!"
