Dawn Staley has turned South Carolina into a powerhouse in women's college basketball over the last handful of years.

After all, the Gamecocks' numbers and results since 2021 speak for themselves: three straight SEC regular season titles, two SEC tournament titles, a national championship and three straight Final Four appearances. Record-wise, South Carolina has gone 126-7 overall and 60-3 in SEC play while losing only one home game during that span.

Prior to Sunday's national championship game vs. Iowa, there still remained a feat Staley and South Carolina hadn't reached: an undefeated season.

The Gamecocks came close to reaching this feat last year but ultimately fell two games short, as they lost to Caitlin Clark and the Hawkeyes in the Final Four. Former Gamecock and reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year Aliyah Boston was held to just eight points in South Carolina's 77-73 loss.

One year later, South Carolina not only achieved the feat for the first time with a perfect 38-0 record, but also completed it against Iowa and Clark, who kept them from the achievement last season.

The Gamecocks are now the 10th team — and the first team since UConn in 2016 — in NCAA Division I women's basketball history to go undefeated for an entire season. Here's a look at the company Staley and Co. keep:

Who was the last undefeated NCAA women's basketball team?

Prior South Carolina in 2023-24, the last NCAA Division-I women's basketball team to go undefeated in a season was Geno Auriemma's UConn Huskies in 2015-16, when they went 38-0.

There was no more dominant program or team in the country in the 2010s than UConn as it won four straight national championships and went 151-14 from 2012-16. During the Huskies 2015-16 run, UConn star and now WNBA forward Breanna Stewart spearheaded the Huskies offense averaging 19.4 points per game.

Undefeated NCAA women's basketball teams

South Carolina is the fifth different women's basketball program to go undefeated for an entire season, joining the likes of Baylor, Texas, Tennessee and UConn.
