Who became the first woman to dunk twice in an NCAA basketball game?

Candace Parker became the first woman to dunk twice in an NCAA basketball game.

She achieved the feat while playing for Tennessee. Parker had already made history as the first woman to dunk in an NCAA tournament game, and her two-dunk performance expanded that landmark achievement during her college career.

Her athleticism was a major part of her reputation before she entered the WNBA. At Tennessee, she combined forward size with perimeter skills, helping the Lady Vols win national championships in 2007 and 2008.

This record is distinct from Parker’s professional dunking milestones. In the WNBA, she became the second player to dunk in a regulation game, following Lisa Leslie. Parker’s college and professional dunks are therefore often mentioned together but represent different achievements.
