Kitts Powers Gamecocks Past Clemson
CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) — Tessa Johnson scored 13 points, Chloe Kitts had 12 points and 12 rebounds and No. 1 South Carolina pulled away for its 16th straight victory over state rival Clemson, 65-44 on Thursday night.
The Gamecocks (3-0) looked out of sync in the opening half and were only up 30-21 at the break. That changed after halftime as South Carolina turned things up on both sides to outscore the Tigers 21-7 and hold its opponent to 0-of-7 shooting in the period.
Johnson scored nine of her points in the third quarter while Kitts posted her second straight double-double and the 19th of her career.
