No. 1 South Carolina remains undefeated, downs No. 5 UConn in Storrs
South Carolina women’s basketball remained perfect on the season with a huge win over Geno Auriemma and No. 5 UConn Sunday afternoon.
Dawn Staley’s squad trailed by as much as 11 late in the first quarter, but retook the lead at the start of the 3rd just after halftime. After taking that lead, the Gamecocks never looked back and did not trail the remainder of the game on the way to an 81-77 win.

South Carolina is now 23-0 on the season, though this is just the 2nd time the Gamecocks have been tested across the schedule. South Carolina squeezed past No. 2 Stanford in overtime back in November.
Aliyah Boston, one of the best players in the country, was the star of the show for the Gamecocks Sunday. She surpassed her season high, totaling a 26-point double-double with 11 rebounds. She added 2 assists and 2 blocks on a complete performance.
