The No. 1 South Carolina Gamecocks are headed back to the Elite Eight after putting on a defensive clinic of a 59-43 win over 4-seed UCLA at Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville on Saturday.
Headed into the matchup, it seemed that if any team had a chance at stopping the South Carolina, it would be the Bruins, which stood alone as the only team to lose to the the Gamecocks by single digits this season. The team even led at halftime before falling 73-64 in November.
Her veteran heavy team did exactly that. Struggling to keep up with the early pace, UCLA's Emily Bessoir already had 2 fouls before the 1st quarter’s halfway mark. With almost three minutes left to play, UCLA had 3 turnovers to South Carolina’s zero. The second quarter offered more of the same. After holding UCLA to 8 points in the first, their impressive defense continued to hold them to 7 points in the second.
The"freshies," Aliyah Boston, Zia Cooke, Laeticia Amihere, Brea Beal and Olivia Thompson have lost a mere eight games in their four-year Gamecock careers. They shined in the victory to help South Carolina lead by 20 by the end of the third.
