The Gamecocks were led by senior Ta’Niya Latson, who finished with 21 points. Junior guard Tessa Johnson scored 20 points and made 4 of 7 three-pointers. It was Johnson’s fourth consecutive game scoring in double figures.
Mississippi State transfer Medina Ocott was a force to be reckoned with in the paint, scoring 17 points on 8-9 shooting. South Carolina’s leading scorer Joyce Edwards scored 16 points.
Vanderbilt’s leading scorer Mikayla Blacks scored 23 points, but it wasn’t enough to keep the Commodores in the game. South Carolina’s defense ended Blake’s streak of eight consecutive road games with 25 or more points.
