On March 14, 1998, during the first round of the 1998 NCAA Division I women's basketball tournament, the Stanford Cardinal of Stanford University played a college basketball game against the Harvard Crimson of Harvard University in Stanford, California. The Cardinal, seeded 1st in the West bracket and 1st overall in the NCAA Tournament, faced Harvard, seeded 16th in the West bracket and ranked 62nd overall (out of a field of 64). The Crimson won the game 71–67, making it the first time in the history of college basketball, both men and women, that a 16-seed defeated a 1-seed. Two of Stanford's top players did not play in the game. However, in the Crimson's next game they would lose to the Arkansas Razorbacks 82-64, ending their cinderella run. To date, no other 16-seed in women's college basketball has achieved such a feat. The feat was not accomplished by a men's college basketball program until 2018, when UMBC beat Virginia, 74-54.
