Stanford honored the 2021 NCAA women’s basketball champions with a campus parade on Monday, the day after the Cardinal beat the Arizona Wildcats for the team’s first national title since 1992. Student-athletes, coaches and staff from the women’s basketball program were featured in the parade, which followed campus COVID-19 protocols.
