Records
In the Semi-final game between Louisiana Tech and Tennessee, Louisiana Tech's Pam Kelly hit twelve of her fourteen attempted free throws. Twelve made free throws is still, as of 2012, a Final Four record for made free throws.
In the west regional final between Drake and Maryland, Lorri Bauman scored 50 points in a losing effort. Her scoring mark is still the single game record for an NCAA Tournament game. Her 21 made field goals, out of 35 attempts, both of which remain as single game tournament records. In the first round game against Ohio State, Bauman hit all 16 of her free throws. While several players have subsequently all of their attempted free throws, no one has a perfect record with more than 16.
In the three games of her tournament, Bauman scored a total of 110 points, for an average of 36.7 points per game. No player has surpassed that per game scoring mark, through 2012.
Bauman's 50 point performance qualified as one of the top 25 moments of NCAA Tournament history as chronicled by ESPN and the NCAA.com as part of the 25th anniversary celebration of NCAA women's basketball.
