But when it comes to undefeated teams UCONN takes the crown with three undefeated teams in the last fifteen years. The first team, in 1995 featured one of the first nationally recognizable women’s basketball stars in Rebecca Lobo. The 2002 team went 39 – 0 and the 2003 team almost repeated the feat but ended up 37 -1. However all three teams won the national championship in addition to their remarkable regular season records. But perhaps their most dominant team was the national championship winning team of 2009. This team also was undefeated at 39 – 0 had an astonishing 39 point average margin of victory over opponents.

Since its inception in 1997, the WNBA has established itself as having some of the best competition in women’s basketball. Among some of the best women’s basketball teams from this league were the Houston Comets. They quickly established themselves as a dynasty by winning the first four WNBA championships from 1997 to 2000. Following the Comets four consecutive titles the L.A. Sparks proceeded to win the next two WNBA Championships. The Sparks were led by Lisa Leslie, one of the most dominant low post players ever to play the women’s game.

USA Women’s Basketball has put together some dominating teams as well particularly the 2000, 2004 and 2008 teams. These teams were made up of some of the best players from both the WNBA and college and featured stars like Lisa Leslie and Cheryl Swoopes. They dominated the international competition going undefeated and winning the gold medal in each of the three games.
