With its back against the wall and staring down a crucial SEC loss, South Carolina women’s basketball got everything it needed from two newcomers and one savvy veteran.
After trailing by 12 by one point at Arkansas, the Gamecocks stormed back to defeat the Razorbacks, 87-79, on Sunday, strengthening the team’s grip on second place in the conference and keeping its hopes for a regular season title alive.
Playing its third game in seven days, USC leaned heavily on junior guard Tyasha Harris, freshman forward Victaria Saxton and freshman guard Destanni Henderson to outscore Arkansas 35-23 in the fourth quarter, the most points Carolina has ever scored in a final quarter.
