**  In the CIAW and AIAW, the national semifinal losers played a consolation game to determine third
        and fourth places; the NCAA has had no such practice.  Final Four participants in the NCAA tournaments
        are listed by which finalist they played; for example, the 1982 semifinal games matched up Louisiana Tech
        with Tennessee and Cheyney State with Maryland.
