Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart, who were teammates during their college days at the University of Connecticut, faCED each other in this year's championship series. They are considered two of the league's elite players, and both had strong seasons.

It was a thrilling back-and-forth encounter that remained close until the final minutes before getting decided in overtime. The Liberty eventually edged out the Minnesota Lynx with a 67-62 victory to win their first championship.
