Lady Tigers' rally falls short in Columbia
COLUMBIA, S.C. – Despite overcoming a 21-point deficit and making a game out of it, the Clemson Tigers came up short, 69-57, against rival South Carolina in the Palmetto Series on Thursday at Colonial Life Arena in Columbia, S.C.
The Lady Tigers (2-1) used a 10-2 run out of halftime to spark a second-half comeback, but the Gamecocks never gave up their lead and pulled away in the waning minutes.
“I’m really proud of that third quarter, in particular,” said head coach Amanda Butler. “We stuck to our guns and kept chipping away. It felt like it was closer than 12 points overall, but it was a great effort.”
