Washington (CNN) President Donald Trump, for the first time, welcomed a women's sports team to the White House for their own event: the 2019 NCAA women's tournament champion Baylor Bears.

Trump had come under scrutiny for never hosting a women's championship team in his over two years at the White House for their own individual event. In November 2017, Trump did host 18 NCAA championship teams to the White House, including both women and men's teams.

WNBA teams were frequently invited to the White House during the Obama, Bush and Clinton administrations and NCAA women's basketball champion teams have visited the White House for the previous five administrations.

Trump praised the team and their win in a short exchange before reporters.

Baylor head coach Kim Mulkey presented the President with several gifts, including a signed Baylor basketball, a hat and a basketball jersey, which she joked may be a better gift for first lady Melania Trump.
