CLEVELAND — Saniya Rivers is two wins away from doubling her ring collection and adding a second national title to her three-year college resume.
The only problem? The teammates she cut the nets with in 2022 are also taking the floor in Cleveland, but against her this time. As South Carolina returns to the Final Four for the fourth consecutive season, Rivers has flourished elsewhere. The national championship game was the last time she suited up for the Gamecocks; Rivers transferred shortly afterward and now has NC State in the national semifinals for the first time in her lifetime.
